History:
The very word "truck" is of ancient Greek derivation-trokhus, a wheeled vehicle for carrying heavy loads. It came do define a heavy horse drawn wagon. When early automobile chassis were adapted to commercial use, "motor" was prefixed to "truck" to distinguish the self propelled from the horse drawn wagon. "Truck" and "trucking" have come to embrace a array of commercial vehicles, a gigantic industry vital to American life.

Buick embarked upon the building of trucks early in 1910. Early Oldsmobile, Cadillac and Oakland trucks, among others, were often derived from the passenger car chassis. But as a rule automobile chassis, with their light frames, engines and transmissions, were not suitable for heavy payloads. this led independent truck builders to develop stronger, slower and more powerful chain drive gasoline engines as well as electric motors capable of hauling five and six tons. Two such companies, the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company founded in 1902, were represented by GM sales forces and subsequently consolidated with GM in 1911 to form General Motors Truck Company (GMC) at Pontiac, Michigan. The new company was created specifically to build heavy duty trucks and buses. GMC Truck and Coach Division came into being in 1943 when GM finalized the purchase of Yellow Truck and Coach Manufacturing Company, a merger of the GM Truck and Yellow Cab Manufacturing companies.
