When the British say "Lorry" do they mean a pickup truck or a delivery truck like the UPS truck? Or a bigger truck like a semi or 18 wheeler? I can't find it in the dictionary.

Any kind of truck...just like our word "truck" can mean anything from the two wheeled hand dolly in a ware house to an 18-wheeled tractor trailer.

A lorry (horse-drawn): a heavy, low-loading, horse-drawn vehicle having a platform body with four small wheels mounted beneath it. The driver's seat was mounted on the headboard. (Old usage; this is the original meaning).
