A truck includes a body, left and right wheels provided on the body, left and right drive units driving the wheels, a handle provided on the body, a sensor, and a control device. The sensor detects a front-rear load and a moment about a vertical axis applied to the handle. The control device sets a target front-rear velocity of the body based on the front-rear load, and sets a target angular velocity of the body about a vertical axis based on the moment about the vertical axis. In a case where a product of the target front-rear velocity and the target angular velocity is greater than a predetermined threshold, the control device performs correction processing on the target front-rear velocity so that the product is equal to or less than the threshold, and controls the drive units based on the corrected target front-rear velocity and the target angular velocity.
