The difference between a trailer tractor and a semi-trailer tractor

     The front of the vehicle with driving capability is called a tractor, and the vehicle with no driving capability behind it is called a trailer, and the trailer is towed away by the tractor. There are two ways to connect the tractor and the trailer: the first is that the front half of the trailer is placed on the towing saddle above the rear section of the tractor, and the bridge behind the tractor bears part of the trailer's weight, which is a semi-trailer; One is that the front end of the trailer is connected to the rear end of the tractor.
