We don't have trucks in the UK, only lorries.







"Truck", meaning lorry has been in common usage for around 30 years in
British English.

I don't know why it took over from lorry, although the change took place
among the population in general, rather than among those who drive or
operate them.

There's nothing wrong with the word as a description- it is derived from the
Greek "Trokhos", meaning "Wheel"
