what is a straight truck

A straight truck is a type of vehicle with a tractor-trailer in a fixed position, where all the axles are connected to a single frame. The distinguishing aspect of a straight truck is that the tractor cannot disconnect from its back since it’s a single frame. Straight trucks usually resemble a U-Haul truck and are mainly used for moving furniture, housing supplies, boxes, refrigerators, and washers or dryers. They are characterized by the separate, box-like compartment into which cargo is loaded. Straight trucks are also used for a variety of other things as well. They are different from tractor-trailers, which can detach their cargo area while a straight truck cannot.
