Big truck

Answer:

RIG

Hint:

Think of the heavy-duty vehicle often used for long-haul freight, especially when paired with a trailer. Drivers might call this their "home on wheels."

Explanation:

"Big truck" is a straightforward clue pointing to "RIG," which is a common slang term for a large truck, especially a semi-truck or 18-wheeler. The word "rig" can also refer to the vehicle’s setup or equipment, but in this case, it’s simply a casual way to describe the truck itself. No wordplay or hidden meanings—just a direct reference to how truckers and drivers often talk about their vehicles.
