Moving truck is the standard American English term for what the British call a removal van — a large truck hired to transport household goods and furniture during a house move. The US term emphasises the act of moving; the British term emphasises the removal of possessions from one place to another. Both describe the same vehicle and service. As a dictionary entry it is primarily useful as an American-British vocabulary cross-reference for international readers.
