Since Sacramento is a hub for some of California’s major freeways (5, 80, 99), there’s a lot of local truck traffic. <\/p>\n

And there’s always some interesting typography to go with them. Yellow<\/a> is one of my favorites, because it’s not actually yellow. It’s orange. <\/p>\n

I also enjoy the typography and colors of the Werner line.<\/a><\/p>\n

And I do miss the iconic fruit covered Raley’s trucks<\/a> – no longer seen around town. Artwork by the great Don Birrell<\/a> of historical Vacaville Nut Tree fame.<\/a> <\/p>\n

On a related note, here’s images from Paris-based photographer Eric Tabuchi’s Alphabet Truck<\/em> series (above) volume one<\/a> and volume two.<\/a><\/p>\n
