What is a tractor-trailer?

Tractor-trailers, oftentimes called semi-trailer trucks, are a combination of a tractor (truck) and semi-trailer. Utilizing a hitch called the fifth wheel, the semi-trailer is attached to the tractor. Semi-trailers come in a wide range of varieties. These include refrigerator trailers, tankers, flatbeds, dump trucks, and more. Tractor-trailer trucks are the most common way cargo and goods are shipped across the country. Due to their size and weight, semi-truck drivers are highly skilled.
