Space Lord Mother Trucker!

See, commercial products are one thing I'm extremely weak in - my "pop culture-fu" is almost nonexistent. So DULCO as a joke would have flown over my head without being given a clear explanation.
Some folks will get the TL&DR joke, others won't. Same goes for DULCO.

At this point, TLDR could be used to mean TL;DR because we have 4 other sub divisions.
Solo Traders could be called: Mother Truckers
Organized Convoys could be called: Wagonborn
Test shipping could be called: UPTEST or TESTEX or something along those lines.
and Combat Resupply could be call: Huey Squad in honor of the UH-1 huey

Ok, you two have just about pushed me off the cliff.
TL;DR, Wagonborn isn't a very cool name to me. And you two aren't even trying to come up with a compromise, when I already offered a compromise to you two. Not really cool at all.
And yes, I've finally snapped over this issue. It gets really fucking annoying when two grownups start riffing on something as if it's some super-duper amazing viral meme, when it really isn't. Instead, it comes off as forced. Because of that, the name is going to get old after a year or so, and I'm not going to appreciate that.
And speaking of years, we're still two years out from the PU.
You two also basically ignored the other suggestions other posters have made, such as Czechmate's.

And I'm not interested in thinking about a different game in a space game. For the last four years, it's been incredibly difficult to not run into a Skyrim joke, meme, or viral video.
Frankly, I'm sick of it.
EDIT: We need more name suggestions. Come on, guys. I'd like to see a list of good, sensible names. You know, like Anti-Squeaker's "PALS", aka Private Asset Liberation Squad.

Is that in the picture the elusive tooterfish?
Also Wagonborn has my full support. Watch out for mudcrabs. Dreadfull creatures.

Yes, that is the elusive Tooterfish in his chick shaped life support suit. He just has the head off so he can grab a quick smoke.

As said in Mumble earlier today, Wagonborn is not my favorite kind of Skyrim humor and personally I find Nkato's TL;DR better. That being said, I'm not joining this particular squadron so I'm not going to get involved in the naming discussion any more. Not my beef.
I will, however, take an arrow to my knee any day flying escort for you guys.

PALS is ironic, Rock Raiders is apt, and Yellowjackets is a cool name and a play on our colors. TL;DR isn't really funny and just doesn't fit. Hauler Monkeys would be better than TL;DR.
I agree. The aforementioned names are good, and they feel like they fit. Wagonborn feels forced, TL&DR feels...eh, almost there, but not quite. Which is why I think we need better suggestions that follow the same theme as the other three squad names.
I'm still playing Skyrim occasionally and I haven't even beaten the main quest yet :(

I enjoy Skyrim. I still play it on occasion. I've sunk well over a hundred hours into it, and still haven't come close to the main quest. I still do laugh at good (emphasis good) FUS RO DAH jokes and arrow to the knee memes. But I do not particularly like the Wagonborn name.
Why?
Because I want a name that I'm not going to be sick of after the 50th time I hear it called in chat, something that won't make me start grinding my teeth. And I feel like that is exactly what would happen with this name.
Now I'll be fair. I'm not going to criticise only, I'll try and come up with a more creative name. Truth be told, I've been trying to think of something clever since my first post in this thread and I've been coming up dry. But I'd rather a generic placeholder name (in the best spirit of TEST Squadron - Please Ignore) than something banal.

Skyrim was awesome, so many hours going around axing people, or getting clubbed through the sky by giants.
The follow up Elder Scrolls was ok as well, not the best game but still worth playing.
