Talk:Box truck

Photo removed

I removed a photo from this article as it was not "a truck with a cube-shaped cargo area" as per the article's definition. Instead, it shows a Luton body. Maybe this is just a difference in UK/US terminology(?) but something needs to be clarified so that the photo is consistent with the definition.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 12:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Box van definition in British English

This isn't s British term? I am American and have never heard of the term 'box truck' in my life.'Step van' is the common usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:E405:E7D4:892:DF7A (talk) 21:48, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

I am the author of the above, and stand corrected. I just saw the term used in the Tampa newspaper. Maybe it is a more recent usage, to me.

Class C (non-commercial, "regular") license in the US - single chassis, 2 axle, under 26,000 GCVWR

For GCVWR under 26,000 lbs, trucks of this type - "Straight trucks" being an additional term I did not see in the article, can be operated with a regular class C license (the basic license that any driver holds). The "daily life" visible example of this can be found at any U-Haul, Ryder, Enterprise, etc. rental truck location, and inspection of the largest trucks they have. NOTE: "Largest truck with a class-C" is a characterization or designation that the rental truck companies routinely employ and prominently display on their websites, so its also easy to verify by looking at those sites. In CURRENT terms, International dominates as possibly the only company that produces trucks of this size in meaningful numbers. Essentially 100% of the above mentioned rental fleets are composed of International trucks. The consistency in the fleets is, I assume, due to relatively recent changes in the regulations on commercial trucks (eg emissions, probably due to CARB-linked state regulations, ie the entire west coast) that forced companies to upgrade their fleets at a time when International was among the only options.~2026-33433-98 (talk) 06:04, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
