semitrailer
Tractor's trailing load
A semitrailer is a large trailer designed to be hauled by a truck cab, with its front end supported by the cab rather than its own wheels.
The combination of cab and semitrailer is called a semitrailer truck, semi, or eighteen-wheeler.
Semitrailers dominate long-haul freight: A semitrailer jackknifed on the interstate.
