cargo truck

Heavy goods transporter

A cargo truck is a motor vehicle designed to transport goods rather than passengers.

The term encompasses everything from small delivery trucks to large semi-trailers.

Three cargo trucks waited at the loading dock.

In military contexts, cargo trucks move supplies and equipment.

The term distinguishes hauling vehicles from passenger vehicles, buses, or specialized trucks like fire engines.
