Can the semitrailer be paired with different tractors?
Semi-trailer is a more widely used model in the domestic transportation industry, compared with single-type freight vehicles, semi-trailer transportation efficiency can be improved by about 30-50%, transportation costs can be reduced by 30-40%, fuel consumption trailer axle can be reduced by 20-30%, especially in the field of long-distance cargo transportation, the coverage of semi-trailer almost exceeds all other transportation models.
As we all know, the semi-trailer does not have a driving force, and the power of the tractor is needed to achieve driving. Under normal circumstances, a tractor can pull a semi-trailer, and the two cars are mainly connected through the traction seat, traction pin and electrical road to achieve synchronous driving and braking.
So, can the semi-trailer be combined with different tractors on the road? In other words, can a semi-trailer be used with only one tractor, or can it be used with different tractors?
The answer is that you can change it freely, because the semi-trailer and tractor have independent licenses and procedures, the owner can deploy the tractor and semi-trailer according to the needs of the combination, the same semi-trailer can replace the tractor, the same tractor can also replace the semi-trailer, such as the suspension transport mode, of course, the premise is that each tractor and semi-trailer trailer axle procedures must be complete and legal compliance.
In addition, on the insurance problem of semi-trailer and tractor, many owners feel that the semi-trailer does not need to buy insurance separately, because the semi-trailer is equivalent to a bucket, only need to buy the insurance of the tractor on the line, if there is a problem in the bucket, you can use the insurance of the tractor to settle the claim. Therefore, most general cargo transportation companies basically only give traction car insurance.
Although this seems to be no problem, in some practical cases, the semi-trailer can not be settled with the insurance of the tractor. For example, once a car owner reflected that his semi-trailer turned over, because the tractor is fine, the insurance company did not finally pay claims.
Objectively speaking, although the semi-trailer must be connected with the tractor, it can essentially belong to two vehicles, so can not use the insurance of the tractor, I am afraid that it needs to see the specific provisions of the region, some places may be able to, some can not. For those vehicle attendance is relatively high owners, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, it is recommended to give the semi-trailer a separate trailer axle insurance.
It is worth noting that under normal circumstances, the traffic insurance is compensated, and the semi-trailer does not need to be purchased separately after the purchase of the tractor. As for other commercial insurance and additional insurance, the owner can purchase according to demand:
