Whats your opinion? whats the difference between a large car and a big truck?
Ohhh, this one is easy. Any commercial combination vehicle with at least 3 axles is a Big Truck. All Large Cars are Big Trucks, but not all Big Trucks are Large Cars...
Okay...The top photo is what one might consider to be a Large Car..extended sleeper, all the bells and whistles. But really, that is just a nice house!!
The Volvo is a perfect example of a Big Truck. It is simply a tractor for hauling trailers. Does not matter how it runs, how many lights it has, or what trailer it is pulling..It will always be a Big Truck.
A Large Car has class...It will run as fast as the driver allows, not being governed by a computer. It has style and can usually be seen from a great distance because of the many "chicken lights" mounted on its shiny chrome. Now, I am aware that the Volvo can be adorned with lights and run screaming down the highway, but a Volvo will never have class. Usually a Large Car is piloted by an "Old School" mentality driver. A Big Truck can be driven by any Class A bozo. A Large Car is rarely ever dirty. A Big Truck, well that depends on the bozo driving it. A Large Car is typically owned by an individual, but there are some company trucks that earn the moniker of Large Car....Hmmmm, where is this going..
Okay, A Large Car is the essence of trucking...and Big Trucks are a dime a dozen.

Oh Dear Road Rage,...wouldn't the "difference" that lies "between" a large car & a big truck be the S.U.V. because it is a sport-utility-vehicle?
I'm just a bozo - doh!
Well, let's see:
-I don't drive a Large Car (i.e. Peterbilts, Kenworths), but I do drive a big truck (Sterlings, Freightliners, Internationals)
-I have a Class A license, but I'm not a bozo because I actually care about others' safety as well as mine
BTW, I think that Volvo in the second picture ought be the truck
you're assigned to drive, not those P.O.S. that the company makes you drive. Imagine, it's like a two-story home to you; it's very tall, you can install a hot tub in the back, a washer/dryer, a small kitchen, a bedroom. Sounds great, huh?
A big truck goes as fast as it can. A large car goes as fast as it wants to. ;)
The blue one does look like a house. I've never seen one like that. I wonder what it looks like inside.

Eric pftftftfttftttt!
TWB, I wouldnt worry about it. I am a bozo too, and not afraid to accept it. I gave up the Large Car for plenty of home time :-)
Shannon, well, okay. Thats the short answer!!
Mama Bear. The blue one looks just like an RV on the inside. Complete Kitchen, shower, sink, dining area and possibly a loveseat. The bedroom is usually a convertible. But it is just like home away from home!!
