I have found some HO-usable trucks by a company called Wham-O, making a series called Rad Racers. They do cars, military vehicles, and trucks. The trucks are what interest me most, as they are suitable for HO scale, I think. This latest batch has some interesting ones, thought you guys might be interested in seeing them. If you have a Five Below store in your area, you can acquire some easily. :)
The rental trucks are generic but can be worked into a nice Truck rental dio. The Freeze truck would work anywhere - restaurant, supermarket, etc. Water truck, meh, but any construction site always has some water on hand. The airport jet stairs really got me, as I want to do an airport dio, and those will come in handy for a small airport. Overall, the quality is pretty good, the bodies sit a bit high on the chassis's, but I am going to try to modify them to lower the height some.
Anyway, something to look at if you are interested in themes provided.

 Isn't Wham-O the one that invented the Frisbee as we all know them now? Whatever the case, those cars would look good on an H0 scale layout.

That's why I said "as we know them now". I knew they existed beforehand.
