tractor-trailers
Highway freight haulers
Tractor-trailers are large commercial vehicles consisting of a cab (the tractor) pulling a detachable cargo container (the trailer).
The combination is also called a semi, semi-truck, eighteen-wheeler, or big rig.
The tractor provides the engine and driver's compartment; the trailer carries freight.
Tractor-trailers dominated the interstate.
