It's debated... there's no clear trail to its origin. "support and gear," "supplies and gear," just "what to do if you sag..." whatever. It's short and easy to put on a sign to stick on the truck :-)

From Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_sa-o.html
Sag Wagon
A car or truck that picks up or otherwise assists riders who have had to stop riding, either due to fatigue, injury, or mechanical failure. This is primarily a touring term, racers call the corresponding vehicle the "broom wagon."
Some people believe that the term derives from the verb "sag", others maintain that it is an acronym for "Support And Gear."
