so when i say "truck" you need to read "semi"
:)
lol
that clears up a bunch
a pickup is still just a 4 wheeler to me.
lol
In the UK truck = semi/box van etc. and a US truck = pickup, I think the same goes for Aus and NZ too
hmm
thanks for the terminology @TheRandomist
It gets confusing, and that's without mentioning pants!
i'm a US truck driver.
I figured that you drove a semi
so a "truck" is gonna be a U-haul at least.
the whole 12'
So a truck is a pickup, but truck drivers drive semis? 🤦♂️
uhhhh..... yah i guess.
different terminology for different people
language doesn't always make sense.
we aren't as united
but we still are united by Country
I mean, both are short for pickup truck so it's just a different perspective I guess.
i'm trying to find a road sign that is the perfect example of discrimination against trucks.
lol
I know the sign i want, I know the pice of highway it's on.
I know those max clearance for highways
I have no idea how to quickly search for it.
We also call semis wagons (when we're not calling them trucks), and what you call wagons we call estate cars
no, not maximum clearance, those at least make sense.
you gotta have a height limit at some point, and the industry is going to build that high.
yeah
hmm
there are signs that force trucks to move into a certain lane in Kentucky
but thats for tolls so they don't slow down general traffic
yah, those ones, as well as haveing 10mph lower speed limit.
yeah
a semi should go as fast as possible
Over here that's standard, anything towing can only use the first 2 lanes when its three or (rarely) four wide. That includes cars with trailers etc.
so the little ones don't fuck with the big bois
but it makes sense
with highways in the mountains
