Semi Trucks or in Europe Articulated lorries are designed to tow trailers, from there we get to single axle, tandem axle, Tri Drive, Day cab, Cab over, Sleeper and other configurations.
Ups has single axle Semi "Tractors" (The name for a semi truck without its trailer) as short as 15 feet.
Some of the longer extra large sleeper set ups make the truck 35 feet long.
