Trucks don't do that, vans do.

In Europe every tradesperson drives a van because it is a lot more efficient and can haul way more than trucks ever can.

They carry very different loads, and both are awesome.

Well then I guess I need a new vehicle because I'm a handyman and I use a truck. Dealing with a van full of stuff and trying to slide drywall in is kind of difficult. However, I can easily snap them on top of the bed of my truck and get moving. And it cost me a whole lot less to maintain this truck than it would to maintain a van. You ever tried carrying a ton of gravel in a van? I wouldn't. Takes much longer to load and unload that way.

Yes, yes you do.
