What is a Tractor-Trailer?

While some vehicles may be one solid unit - as in the case of a pickup truck or van, many large trucks consist of two or more separate units: the cab or tractor, which pulls the load, and one or more trailers which are attached to the cab to be hauled. Tractor-trailers typically have three axles on the cab, one in the front for steering and two in the back to move the vehicle. Additional axles will be on the trailer itself. All except the steering axle will have two tires on each end for support and safety, in the event that one tire should fail. Additional terms for tractor-trailers include: 18-wheelers (for the number of wheels large trucks of this size may have), big rigs, and semi trucks.
