Definition of terms:

Service - Intangible products such as accounting, banking, cleaning,

consultancy, education, insurance, expertise, medical treatment, or
transportation. A valuable action, deed, or effort performed to satisfy a
need or to fulfill a demand.

Sand and gravel - are used for road construction, for mixing with asphalt,
as construction fill, and in the production of construction materials like
concrete blocks, bricks, and pipes. It is also used to make roofing
shingles, used on icy roads in the winter, for railroad ballast, and water
filtration.
Truck - is a wheeled vehicle for moving heavy articles. In this case, it
is used to deliver sand and gravel for construction of infrastructure.

Ten-wheel drive - is a drivetrain configuration of ten wheels, all of

which are driven simultaneously by the engine. Unlike four-wheel
drive drivetrains, this configuration is only used in extreme off-
road and military uses, in particular heavy duty uses, such a heavy
haulage and missile carriers.

Six-wheel drive - is an all-wheel drive drivetrain configuration of three

axles with at least two wheels on each axle capable of being driven
simultaneously by the vehicle's engine. Unlike four-wheel
drive drivetrains, the configuration is largely confined to heavy-duty
off-road and military vehicles, such as all-terrain vehicles, armored
vehicles, and prime movers.

Ton - is a unit of measure. It has a long history and has acquired a

number of meanings and uses over the years. It is used principally as a
unit of mass. Its original use as a measurement of volume has continued in
the capacity of cargo ships and in terms such as the freight ton. It can
also be used as a measure of energy, for truck classification, or as a
colloquial term.

Bearing - is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the

desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts. The design of
the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the
moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a
motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving
parts. Most bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction.

Clutch Brake - The clutch brake is engaged when you push the clutch all
the way to the floor. You only do this when you're stopped, and need to
get the truck into gear.
Chassis - A piece of trucking equipment which is essentially a set of
wheels on a lightweight frame.

Site - Location, a point or an area on the Earth where the sand and gravel
take for delivery.

Dock - A platform where trucks are unloaded and loaded.

Cargo Weight – The weight of the loads, gear and supplies on a vehicle.
