Of course it is! That's the whole point - unless you never watch hockey in your life with Russian players named "Sergey" or "Sergei", you'd never pronounce it the way our Safety does. "Sir-Guy" is wrong. The correct way naturally is "Sir-Gay". And Indian speakers usually call me "Sir -Jay"

There's 2 syllables in the word - c'mon. It can't be that hard

I like the one with your name and specialized transport services. However, I am not sure how much it will help you to have your name on the truck if you are leased to another carrier. When I have leased to another carrier I usually didn't have my own name on the truck.

The sign on the truck's door has the carrier's name in big letters and my name in small letters on the side of the sleeper. When I got my own tarps, I asked them if it'd be okay if I had my name on the tarps and they said, "okay". The sign I"m thinking of is only for the front of the trailer (on the nose cone).

You're probably right, товарищ. If they say "no", I don't want to learn about this when the sign is already painted in 6" letters on the Nose Cone

I asked Dispatch about this and they said, "Ask the Vice President". So, I sent him an email and got this reply:

"We would prefer you to have your name and trailer number or truck number on it."

So, I"m going with this sign on the Nose Cone:

SERGEY DRATCHEV
3395

Clearly, they didn't like "specialized transport service" under my name. Well, I can always add that later, when/if I choose to become independent.

I think that it will serve your purpose by simply having your name and truck number on the trailer. As you said, you can always add your company name if and when you decide to go independent.

Actually, the name of my company IS my name, so I won't have to change anything if I decide to fly solo
