caminhão de uso geral


Explanation:
Com certeza não é um caminhão para atender piscinas, que seria um sentido do termo nos EUA. Então deve ser um caminhão que atende as necessidades de vários grupos dentro da empresa ou do departamento.

Pool: 8 facilidades, serviços, para servir a um grupo. (veja link abaixo)
