trunking is taking a trailor from one depot to another and returning with another trailor back to home depot.
tramping is nights out from 1 night away to all week.
multidrop is generally day work and doing more than one del during your shift(parcel companies etc)
And no its not a stupid question so no worries ask away

Cheers guys, thats a great help! :smiley:
