Personally I say I’m a lorry driver , truck is an American term.“Truck” comes from “Trochus” meaning “wheel” in Classical Greek, and has been used in British English to describe wheeled vehicles since the 1600s. “Lorry”, to describe a self-propelled goods-carrying vehicle first appeared in 1911.
Impressive, but do you know where “juggernaut” comes from?

that’s the one! IIRC it was Krishna’ wagon from Hindu scripture.
As a side note, wasnt the first use of the word juggernaut on English from a Charles Dickens story?
