However, I would not be surprised to hear a trucker refer to his vehicle as 'she'. Beloved cars, ships and other possessions are often given gender pronouns in informal language.

I have actually heard this, and not just in a film either.

I had beloved cars to which I gave female names. I never named the trucks I drove though, and never thought of them as being female. A "Pete" lends itself to being male
