Quite right sorry, senior moment
The truck/lorry is interesting (to some maybe) Prior to & during the second world war the British army refered to a goods carrying vehicle as a truck if it had a payload of up to one ton & a lorry if over that.
I'm a mind of totally useless information, but I'm old so humour me.
