A tractor is a type of truck that has a driver's area and engine but does not have a cargo body. It is designed to pull or tow other vehicles, such as trailers or heavy loads. The tractor provides the power and control needed for hauling, but the cargo is carried by the attached trailer. This design is commonly used in long-distance transport, where large amounts of goods need to be moved over long distances.
- The tractor pulled a fully loaded trailer across multiple states to deliver goods.
- The tractor was connected to a refrigerated trailer to transport perishable items.
- After unloading at the warehouse, the tractor was ready to pick up the next trailer for delivery.
- The tractor's powerful engine allowed it to pull heavy trailers up steep inclines without trouble.
- The tractor had to stop at a weigh station to ensure the trailer wasn't overloaded.
