There are several ways to classify trucks, one is by weight, or size, I.e.: 1 Ton; 2 Ton; 5 Ton; 10 Ton, etc.

Another way is by the type of cargo area, I.e.: Flat deck; tanker; van; etc.

And of course there is no end to the combinations of those two methods, i.e.: 1 Ton Cube; 5 Tanker; 10 Ton Van; Etc.;

Here are just a few examples:
