@ Nick Not sure about Portugal, but in Brazil, when you say "prancha", it is a lowboy (steel trailer with lowered bed), not one of these regular trucks with wooden backs. https://www.google.com.br/search?q=carreta prancha&tbm=isch&...

@ Douglas and Mário Maybe it IS a simple flatbed as the speaker appears to denegrate such drivers.

Mario Freitas Apr 14, 2022:

@ Douglas Please note "flatbed" can be any truck with a flat back, including the regular ones. The "prancha" (lowboy) has a lowered carrier, and is specific for heavy mobile machines.

I have discovered that these people work for an agri-business (sugar cane etc), so I am tending more towards flatbed, if anyone can find any trust-worthy source
