Are you referring to the cab or the trailer? On the back of trailers - and this is typically seen on refrigerated trailers - it serves as a vent. If you offload a refrigerated product, then have to go pick up a non-refrigerated product (or one which has to be kept at a higher temperature than a previous product), opening those doors will allow outside air in, so that you can at least get the thawing out process going while you're enroute to the customer.

Where does the name semi truck come from?

The prefix "semi-" means "half", and the standard tractor-trailer articulated vehicle is called a "semi" because of the trailers they pull. A "full" trailer has wheels in the front and back, like a railway car, and connects to the tractor from the front. A "semi-trailer" (or, essentially, "half-trailer") only has wheels in the back, and the front sits over the back wheels of the tractor pulling it.


How do you alley dock a 40 foot bus?

I don't know why you would--alley docking is done to unload trailers, and trailers have the door in the back while buses' doors are in the side--but since a bus is a single unit, not a truck-trailer combination, you'd back it down the alley just like a forty-foot car.

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.


What is a tongue or draw-bar on a tractor trailer?

These are items you would be more likely to find on a farm tractor than on a tractor-trailer. A tongue is mounted to the frame (or an auxiliary arm), and can facilitate a hitch or mount for pulling a trailer. A drawbar is the bar which extends from the tow vehicle (or another trailer) to a dolly under the front of a trailer. You're not likely to find a tongue on a tractor-trailer. The primary means of coupling is the fifth wheel, and some tractors may additionally be equipped with a pintle mounted on the back of the chassis. Drawbars are more common to dump trucks which transport pup trailers behind them, and doubles combinations which require more significant separation of the two trailers than what a typically A-congear provides.
