How it's used
Refers specifically to commercial vehicles used for transporting goods rather than passengers. While it covers everything from small light goods vehicles to heavy semi-trailers, it is distinct from private cars or public transport like buses. In casual conversation, people often use the term to describe any large vehicle that seems to be carrying cargo.
