Non solum collinus agrestis c um vehiculo onerario.
Not just a hilly peasant with a truck.

Non solum = not merely
collinus = hilly
agrestis = both an adjective (uncultivated) and a noun (uncultivated one, peasant)
vehiculum onerarium = truck (modern usage - lit. vehicle of burden, freight)

Plaustrum (longum) and autocarrus (onerarius) were other options I found for truck, but there seemed to be some discrepancy between different websites as to what was acceptable. Plaustrum is a Classical Latin word for a wagon that carried heavy loads. One website I looked at said autocarrus meant truck, another said not to use it for truck, and a third used it with onerarius. So I used vehiculum onerarium, as it was given by several sites.

untranslatable, but here's a small offering "Non solo proletarius c+u+m autocarro."

The proletarius is the lowest form of civic life. Autocarrus is the approved modern word for truck. The word c+u+m is optional, as autocarro on its own gives the meaning.

I apologise for the plus signs, but Yahoo objects to a simple Latin word meaning "with". Crazy!

This is her daughter. I'm pretty sure it would be "Non solum collinum-turgurium vehiculo." which would, since there aren't latin words for "hillbilly" or "truck," it LITERALLY translates to "Not only (just) a hill-peasant (countryman) with a vehicle." However, any REAL latinist will be able to make the leaps. hope this helps!

There is no available Latin word for "hillbilly". Even in concept, I don't believe there is any Latin equivalent to do it justice.
