| description | Abstract
Peruvian trucks often carry a distinctive name, usually painted on the front of the vehicle. These names show distinctive regional patterns, particularly between more “conservative” (rural and Andean) and more “progressive” (urban) parts of the country. Ten years of personal observations and interviews with truck owners and drivers provided names and information on the reasons individual truck names may have been chosen or changed.
