Your story brought back a lot of memories for me... My husband was a truck driver back then also... at one point a man hired him to drive "his" truck... it was lime green with gold and black and white accent colors... Everyone dubbed the truck the Easter Egg and that became his handle... I still use variations of his handle to this day for things such as passwords... easy to remember and a bit obscure... at one point I worked in ceramics and had 2 of his trucks.. that one and one he bought... and they disappeared over the years.... Never knew where or why??? thinking about it now, I would love to have them... He has been gone for 22 years this coming July. Enjoy him while you can....
