a "TRUCK" is any piece of apparatus with an aerial device meeting the NFPA 1901-2009 specifications.

You forgot "Special Service"... just pointing it out, LOL

A "Quint" has to meet "Pumper" specifications in addition to "Truck".

If I remember correctly, NFPA requirements for "Truck Company" is a minimum of 114 ft of ground ladders (Aerial NOT included). ISO is different, I beleive.
