The truck is a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo. This particular model and make has been widely used by various organizations in America, including the United States Armed Forces and NW Disposal Systems, along with the Brotherhood of Steel.
Characteristics
Edit
It is built in a cab-over-engine arrangement with two large headlights, a fuel-cell-powered engine, and three axles. It was produced as a standardized cutaway chassis, which was then, depending on the need of the buyer, modified. As such, two primary models exist - a semi-trailer truck (often found with the accompanying trailer) and a flatbed truck.
EmploymentEdit
The U.S. Army used a great number of these trucks to transport soldiers and goods over long distances. As Army vehicles, they were painted olive drab and bore a serial number in addition to the Army's insignia and winterized Army trucks seen during the Anchorage Reclamation simulation are white with tinted windows. Private companies also employed this type of vehicle, though most used the truck and trailer model. Flatbeds were used primarily by delivery companies for various purposes, from nuclear waste to uranium pellets.
After the war, these sturdy vehicles continue to be used. While the scarcity of available replacement parts (most importantly tires, windshields, and engine parts) limits their usefulness somewhat, they nonetheless play an important part in the supply systems of various factions. The New California Republic has a dedicated truck repair section in Camp McCarran.[1] The Boomers also have several trucks parked at Nellis Air Force Base.
