In the US, lorry == truck. Never heard the term goods truck before today, but I think it's what we call a boxcar.
- perl4ever 5y agoA "truck" on a railway car is apparently a "bogie" in the UK. A bogie in India seems to be a railway car in the US. Then there are intermodal containers, smaller than boxcars, I think they are hauled by truck (lorry) after being unloaded from a flatcar.
