The truck is a motor vehicle with wheels intended to transport goods. The lorry driver (road) or truck-driver has as a task the control of a truck, and it is necessary to have the driving licence suitable to operate the heavy lorry.

A truck runs on average 149.250 km/year in occidentals countries or 92 500 miles.

It should be noted that this mileage is rather theoretical since a lorry driver average or long distance can carry out more than ten thousand kilometers per month - 120.000 kilometers per annum -, is based on the distances covered by vehicles which are not that heavy trucks, nor assigned to the public transport of goods (statistical all confused tendencies), and also includes vehicles which all are not in service (vehicles of occasion, etc)
We distinguishe private transport and carriage for hire or reward. The conveyors for hire or reward have a transport activity generally more intense than the companies which use one or more truck (S) for their own account, which makes any statistics total rather difficult to interpret, as soon as it is about distance covered by a truck.

The trucks are declined in multiple models according to the type of transported goods. They must conform to very precise regulations.
