Dream Dictionary
To see a truck in your dream,
implies that you are overworked.
You may be taking on too many
tasks and responsibilities and
are weighing you down. On a side
note, pregnant women often dream
of trucks or driving trucks. This
may be a metaphor of the load
they are carrying or an expression
of their changing bodies.
A
truck is a wheeled vehicle for
transporting goods.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A hand truck is a small human
powered truck. It consists of
a metal plate attached to metal
tubing and two large wheels. The
metal tubing is bent to form a
long handle, so as to provide
good mechanical advantage. The
metal plate is slipped under large
heavy objects, and the truck and
object are tilted backward until
the weight is balanced over the
large wheels, making otherwise
bulky and heavy objects easy to
move.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A railroad freight truck is a
movable platform on pairs of wheels
which supports one end of a railroad
car; it is also called a bogie.
The term is also used for such
a part on a skateboard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Truck freight is also a (now little used) term
meaning to barter or negotiate
exchange; it survives in such
expressions as "truck farming" and to have no truck with someone.
