The company's full name has three K's, and maybe somebody with some savvy told them not to use KKK as their branding in the US. "K" Line is a nickname, like "Scooter" Libby.
Given that this is more a nickname, not part of a sentence, and also giving full leeway for branding, I'd say this example was not really a suitable subject for this blog.

Hi, I'm a model railroader and there are thousands of people with "K" Line containers on their model railroads. I recently bought a container used with a botched paint job, so I bought a "K" Line decal set and I'm going to paint it red and do it up proper.
I chose it because I thought it was hilarious that it had the quotes around "K". So then today I decided to Google "K line container unnecessary quotations" to see if I could find a page like this and BAM! Number One Result!! AWESOME

Oh my goodness! I passed on of their tractor trailers yesterday and didn't snap it because I didn't think it would make the cut. "Woe" unto me!
Actually, I think the QMs might be necessary. Without them, it would look like the word "Kline."
For a long time, I thought the company name was Kline. And then I noticed the QMs. You're right. But I love it.
