UP Hood Unit Rendition

I don't know if this is the right place to post something like this, but I had to do a double take at this truck trailer at DATS Trucking in North Salt Lake (10/29/07). It has a pretty good rendition of a UP hood unit on the side, and says "You wouldn't cut off a train, don't cut off a truck!" I think I'd get a jolt if this rig pulled beside me in traffic.

now if we could get trucks to stop cutting off trains...

I am guessing that Union Pacific is the predominant railway in that area. By having a familiar object (the train) that holds you up at a crossing displayed near a message saying that it is wrong to cut off a train it is trying to catch people's attention.

I wonder if they paid UP the required fee for use of the Ar,our Yellow and Harbor Mist gray?

Now THAT is a really good question!

Yesterday - 1/10/2008 - I got a view of the trailer end. The end looks pretty good too.
