| Reference: Info Reference information: truck roll n. The dispatch of a truck or other vehicle to an off-site location. The problem with some of these technologies is that they are expensive. They all require what is known as "truck roll," where someone who works for the cable company or the phone company actually has to run a truck out to some location and break up the street so they can have access to a cable and make changes to the cable distribution system to be able to handle the two-way transmission. —Darnell Little, "Providers Target Faster Subscriber Access Lines For Homes, Businesses," Chicago Tribune, April 19, 1999 http://www.wordspy.com/words/truckroll.asp -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2009-05-29 20:56:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note: the text following the definition is just an example. I don't think truck rolls necessarily involving "breaking up a street". |
