Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you very much. Would you use "Lorry" for "Vrachtwagen"? Or just Truck?

Asker: Sorry for bugging you so much. What is the meaning of the word overladen/niet-overladen. Could you use "empty lorries" for "niet overlanden"? I came up with "transhipment" for overladen. Thank for your help.
