喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A very large goods truck made of two joined parts: a short powered front unit with the engine and the driver's cab (the tractor), and a long container or box behind it carrying the load (the trailer). The two are hitched together, so the back part can be and left at a warehouse while the front unit drives off and picks up a different load — that flexibility is the whole point of the design.
