What is the purpose of a flatbed trailer on a semi truck?

A flatbed trailer is one of the most versatile trailers used in the freight industry. Its main purpose is to haul oversized freight, equipment, machinery, or any other type of cargo that will not fit inside a dry van enclosed trailer. The cargo can be placed on the long flat bed of the trailer and strapped and secured down for transport. The most desirable part of this trailer is the ability to load the cargo from the sides or back using a forklift, or even a crane depending on the type of cargo being loaded.

How big is a semi truck?

The correct use of the word Semi is to refer to the trailer, if a trailer has wheels in the front and back it is a 'full' trailer. A trailer pulled by a tractor/truck using a fifth wheel connection on the front and only having wheels in the back is referred to as a 'semi' trailer. The tractor trailer combination weights approx. 34,000 lbs empty, 80,000 lbs loaded. The tractor itself is around 18,000 lbs. Trailers vary from approx. 30-53 feet with the tractor adding around 12 feet for a total of around 65 feet. The standard height is 13' 6" tall.
