What is a "tractor-trailer"?
A tractor-trailer is a combination of a tractor, which is the front part with the engine and driver's area, and a trailer, which is the cargo area that is pulled behind. The tractor provides the power needed to pull the trailer, which carries goods or materials. This setup is commonly used for long-distance transportation of large loads. The tractor is connected to the trailer through a hitch or coupling, allowing the trailer to be easily detached or swapped.
