This page shows a big rig seen from the side. The cab has a tall grille, a large windscreen and a round headlamp, and it pulls a long, plain box trailer that rests on three sets of wheels. A line of road runs beneath the wheels.
Ideas for coloring
- Colour the cab in a bold red or blue and leave the trailer a pale grey or white.
- Add a simple stripe along the trailer, or draw your own shapes on its large flat side.
- Use dark grey for the tyres and a lighter grey for the wheel centres so they stand out.
- Sketch a few hills or a sunset behind the truck for a long-haul feeling.
How long-haul trucks work
A semi truck is made of two parts: the tractor, which holds the engine and the driver, and the trailer, which carries the load. The two join at a round plate called the fifth wheel, so the trailer can swing around corners. The extra wheels spread the weight of a heavy load across the road.
