A specialized set of jargon describe the tools, equipment, and employment sectors used in the trucking industry in the United States. Some terms may be used within other English-speaking countries, or within the freight industry in general (air, rail, ship, and manufacturing). For example, shore power is a term borrowed from shipping terminology, in which electrical power is transferred from shore to ship, instead of the ship relying upon idling its engines. Drawing power from land lines is more efficient than engine idling and eliminates localized air pollution.〔 〕 Another borrowed term is "landing gear" (from the aviation industry), which refers to the legs which support the front end of a semi-trailer when it is not connected to a semi-truck. Some nicknames are obvious wordplay, such as "portable parking lot", in reference to a truck that carries automobiles. ==General== ;Bill of lading (BOL, BL, B/L):(詳細はtitle=Truck and Bus Glossary )〕 ;Bobtailing:Operating a tractor unit with no trailer attached. ;Broker:A person or company that arranges for the truck transportation of cargo belonging to others, using for-hire carriers to provide the actual truck transportation.〔 ;Bulk cargo:(詳細はbulk cargo''. ;Cargo:See ''freight''. ;Consignee:(詳細はConsignmentを参照) :An agreement between a consignee and a consignor in which the goods are taken responsibility for and transported by a third party, the carrier.
