Truck

Vehicle which carries cargo in a body mounted to its chassis, rather than on a trailer towed by the vehicle.

Pup Trailer

Short semitrailer, usually between 26 and 32 feet long, with a single axle.

Lift Axle

Extra, unpowered axle needed only when the vehicle is loaded, allowing it to meet federal and state vehicle weight standards. The lift axle is mounted to an air spring suspension that raises the axle when it is not required.

Overdrive

Gearing in which less than one revolution of a transmission's input shaft causes one turn of the output shaft. The purpose of overdrive is to reduce engine rpm in high gear for better fuel economy. Example: A transmission with an overdrive top gear has a ratio of 0.70 to one. Turning the input shaft 0.7 revolutions causes 1.0 revolution of the output shaft.
