Colorful, Fanciful and Fun

By George L. Nitti At Chicago based tow company Priority Wrecker Service, owner John Maye and family are minion fans and display those characters on their colorful 2021 Kenworth T880 Century 1135 Rotator with a knee boom. He said, “They are our little buddies.” With 39 trucks, Maye prides himself on each unit being graphically different from one another. This newly acquired unit scored big at The Towman Games in Cleveland, Ohio, where it won first prize in the Rotator class of 2021 at the Pageant of Champions. “We really like colorful, fancy and fun things,” said Maye. Designed by an in-house team of graphic designers, the rotator’s striking array of vivacious colors include black, green, purple, yellow and red. Wrapped together, the colors explode in a rainbow formation, contrasting against its painted black base and green fenders. The Priority name, largely written on the side door and rotator body, also stands out in vibrant green, with its name exuding the company mission. Maye said, “When people need things, they need it now and thus are a priority.” Not only is the rotator bursting with delicious colors, but includes fancy hand-painted decorative work such as its black and red pinstriping found on the hood, fenders and cab. Fanciful too is the elegant “P” standing for Priority and the year of the company establishment together found at the top of the cab packaged like a logo. Beyond fancy though is the fun that this truck conveys, that includes a couple of cartoons of minions, their arms wide open. One graphic next to a minion states, “Dirty Hands Clean Money.” Another slogan written large on the front though succinctly sums it up. “You Call, We Haul, That’s All.”
