A tractor-trailer combination is a type of vehicle made up of two parts: the tractor unit and the trailer. The tractor, also called the truck or cab, contains the engine and driver’s cabin. It provides the power needed to pull the trailer, which is attached to the tractor and used for carrying cargo.
This combination is often referred to as an 18-wheeler or semi-truck because it typically has a total of 18 wheels. The tractor is designed to be versatile, allowing it to detach and attach to different trailers depending on the load requirements. Trailers come in various types, such as dry vans, flatbeds, and refrigerated trailers, to suit different cargo needs.
Tractor-trailer combinations are essential in the trucking industry, as they provide an efficient way to transport large amounts of goods across long distances. These vehicles are commonly used in logistics, construction, and other industries that require heavy cargo transport.
