transport truck

Big rig vehicle

A transport truck is a large commercial vehicle designed for hauling freight over long distances, typically consisting of a cab and a detachable trailer.

The term is primarily Canadian; Americans usually say semi, semi-truck, or eighteen-wheeler for the same vehicle: A transport truck jackknifed on the highway.
