Best Answer

The size distinction varies from state to state. The average trailer lenght is around 53' and the tractor length varies depending on whether or not it has a sleeper and the size of engine. The best definition of a semi truck is that it consist of a towing engine or tractor and a semi-trailer which is used to haul cargo. The trailers generally have 3 axles with the rear axles having two wheels each and the trailers have two wheels on each of the tandem axles.
