Is boom truck a crane truck? Are they the same or two different kind of truck?

Answer:

they are basically the same except a boom truck usually has a trailer and is used to haul things like limber or roof trusses
A 'boom' is attached to a flat-bed truck and is used to unload a heavy delivery (usually building supplies and materials) to a specific location. A 'crane' is similar except that it doesn't unload things. It is attached to a truck and is used for moving heavy objects and materials from one place on another on the same property.
