What is a vocational truck?
Defines vocational trucks and reviews the specialized bodies and equipment used to support specific industries and work applications.
General Industry Education Updated
A vocational truck is a commercial vehicle designed for a specific type of work rather than general transportation. The truck body, equipment, and vehicle configuration are tailored to support a particular industry or application.
Examples include:
- utility trucks
- service trucks
- dump trucks
- landscaping trucks
- moving trucks
- refrigerated delivery trucks
- platform trucks
- parcel delivery vehicles
Vocational trucks often incorporate specialized equipment such as cranes, shelving, hydraulic systems, liftgates, compressors, generators, or material handling equipment that would not be found on general freight vehicles.
Because every vocation has unique operational requirements, truck body selection should begin with the intended application rather than simply choosing a body style.
