Hmm. Difficult Question.
Well, seeing as a I drive as Twingo, 
and they hadnât ought to be classed as Truck or Lorry, I think Iâll pass on this one. 
But⌠when I get a proper motor, Iâll be a Lorry driver - seeing how Iâm an old git.
When referring to vehicles, I usually say âwagonâ, to the consternation of Craigs wife the other day who, by the way, speaks better English than most of us on here 
.
But I have always called myself âtransport driverâ, as I always think of lorries and trucks as being smaller and more local. I had a heated discussion with the woman in the registry office after the birth of my firstborn who wanted to insist on lorry, not transport, driver under âfatherâs occupationâ. I won 
. In the old days, come to think of it we used to use the expression âlong distance lorry driverâ a lot. As in âBritish Long Distance Green Overallsâ for instance, which many of us wore 
.
Always in France it is âChauffeur Routierâ, universally understood.
Incidentally does anyone know that the word âchauffeurâ means âheaterâ? As in the man who heats up the boiler in the morning to get up steam. Not many people know that 
.

Easy!
trucker
n : someone who drives a truck as an occupation [syn: teamster, truck driver]
that will do me
i refer to myself as a âYorkie-eatinâ Muthatruckerâ (even though i donât actually eat that much chocolate 
, and besides, âTurkey salad roll-eatinâ Muthatruckerâ just doesnât have the same âringâ to it⌠)
i also refer to other drivers as âBrothertruckersâ (but not ofensive, like 0#o)
I am a driver.
I drive 7.5 tonners so i am a wagon driver.
I drive vans so i am a van driver.
I rope and sheet,So i am a fool.
But yes.I am a driver
Iâve got a sheet with mine, for when it rains, itâs a big one piece thing with built in ropes thoughâŚso it ainât too bad.
Folding it up is the worst bit.
one thing i canât stand being called is âdriveâ as in alright drive, i donât call you secure do i numpty boy, or warehouse monkey (well actually i do)
May I ask what we warehouse monkeys are supposed to call you all then? 'Coz âOI MUSHâ tends to offend
trucker is the what i call myself
My job title is Truckie, but I call the truck I drive a lorry, it really annoys some of the people I work with. More reason to do it
Their argument is that as Iâm a Truckie therefore I am driving a truck.
My argument is that Eskimoâs have many words for snow, So I can have many words for the vehicle I drive,

God, someone is being very brave or very stupid actually admitting they have the brain cells of a dead amoeba
As someone who did her time as a âwarehouse monkeyâ before getting a wagon licence, I take offence at that last commentâŚI have the single brain cell of a live amoeba, thankyou very much!

A-ha!! so itâs you that has the brain cell, would you pass it on 'coz weâre all supposed to have a turn 
SorryâŚI forgot to surrender it when I moved onto wagonsâŚin fact I think I last saw it kicking around under the bunk along with my âForklift Health and Safety ManualââŚif itâs any consolation, itâs been well rested since then!!!
