It's confusing. In a rail yard all the open hopper cars are trucks.
On the road the eighteen wheelers are trucks but everything between a pick-up and a tractor-trailer rig is a lorry. Any large rigid body truck is a lorry. Think of any truck that could have built during the 1930's. Pick-ups and tractor-trailer trucks are considered American imports.
Lorry is one of those Anglo words that's fading away just like the British auto industry.

Lorries, trucks, wagons or rigs. All are the same thing.

yeah, theyre both the same, BUT, trucks have many wheels, 18... and lorries, well theyre usually rigid class twos, 17.5 tonnes as opposed to articulated 44 tonnes.
we own a HGV garage, and thats how we differentiate.

I call them trucks. Don't have a reason, that's just what I call them.
