Looks like "Hold Fast" which in Norwegian means "hang on"

Indeed, this truck seems to have "hold fast" written on the door: http://nimh-beeldbank.defensie.nl/me...1-13966e870614
"Hold fast" literally translated into Dutch means "vasthouden" - maybe it was an indication they should hang on to this truck as it was a good one?

Interestingly, other trucks also had written texts on their doors. This one: http://nimh-beeldbank.defensie.nl/me...1-13966e870614
has "Remmen Slecht" or "brakes bad" written in chalk.

It could well be these pictures were taken when taking stock of vehicles.
