One meaning of pup is the trailer that they put behind utility trucks
and such. Guess there is no reason you can't have one behind a dump
truck.

They can surprise, because they are narrower and tucked in behind the
truck's silhouette.

The worst, IMNSHO, is a "lawn mower truck!"

You know the p/u with a trailer wider than the truck with the mowers handlebars
sticking over the side at about a riders head level?

A trailer whose box fits inside the truck's box once its load is
dumped so the trailer's load can also be dumped.

It freaked me out as I'd never encountered one before so wasn't
expecting it. It appeared to have "Bad Idea" written all over it.
