Just remember, you may make fun of truck drivers all you want. However, they were the first responders in their lifted trucks in hurricane Harvey because the military's were drowned;.
the rednecks save the day
for me there are "trucks" and "pickups"
"trucks" are big and build to haul goods, most of them have trailers. they are build by the likes of Mack and Freightliner.
then there are "pickups" and those are built by the likes of Ford or Toyota.
Chevy?
they make pickups sure.
basically the difference is Volvo and Chevy.
truck is an umbrella term for me
there are semis and pickups
yah, I know.
I usually call the pickups trucks
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
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
well that was a good conversation
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.
