“Semi trailer” actually refers to the trailer itself, not the tractor. a “full trailer” has it’s own steer axle, think like a hay wagon. a “semi trailer” has it’s steer axle provided by the tractor pulling it. a “cart trailer” is like 2 wheeled buggies put half the weight on the propulsion device, often a horse. Anyways, when people say “semi truck”, they either don’t know or are referring to the fact of what it pulls, not itself…use it to pull anything else and it is no longer a “semi tractor”
Where I am, they are often used to move farm equipmnt, but not on a trailer. They strap 2, 2000 lb concrete blocks to the frame over the axle, for traction, and then use them for moving pin hitch farm equipment. “A trains” are also not “semi” trailers, least the back one, and the triple trailers you see UPS and hay farmers use in the west half are full trailers.
Ah yeah, I only ever see full trailers in this configuration:
Not really common practice to hook them up to a conventional “tractor” (we call it a “saddle” truck here), usually they’re hooked up to the type of truck where there’s a fixes trailer as well (as seen on the picture)
Might just have something to do with length limitations in the EU compared to the US (it’s also why we have cabovers rather than the cool looking US trucks)
Trucks actually started selling more when the first started mimicing the looks of semis. I think dodge was one of the first to adopt that mindset which was basically everything on the front end gets bigger.
this legit looks like a semi, but for people with tiny genitals
These are medium and heavy duty trucks, they’re like semi-lite lol (semi-semi?)
They make a lot more sense in literally any configuration other than pick-up truck.

True , forgot about that. Then again, how often do you see that type of truck pull anything other than a semi trailer? I don’t think I ever have

More like a commercial vehicle….

the tiny dicked people are all around us then!
It’s a class 6 medium duty work truck converted to a passenger truck.
