	Learn More About Heavy Trucks For Sale At Ritchie Bros.</h2>
<p>
	Transport trucks and freight trucks are medium to heavy duty trucks that are designed to haul different types of cargo. They consist of a truck cab, generally a vocational truck, that has a hitch in the rear of the chassis which allows connection to a trailer. The types of hitched trailers can vary between <a href="/cp/flatbed-trailers"><strong>open trailers</strong></a> or <a href="/cp/van-trailers"><strong>van trailers</strong></a>. Van trailers are commonly used for transporting smaller freight items such as consumer goods, while open trailers can be used to transport other vehicles or heavy machinery.</p>
<p>
	In the United States, transport trucks that fall under "heavy trucks" are classified as Class 7 or Class 8 trucks. In other regions, heavy transport truck classifications go by gross vehicle weight.</p>
<h3>What type of fuel is used for transport trucks?</h3>
<p>
	Since the main purpose of commercial trucks is to transport goods, most models of transport trucks utilize diesel engines for a variety of reasons. For starters, diesel offers a higher fuel efficiency which is crucial as it allows for driving longer distances with heavy loads. Secondly, diesel engines provide more cost savings as they require less maintenance and are a cheaper fuel source compared to gas.</p>
<h3>What are the different types of transport &amp; commercial trucks?</h3>
<h4 style="text-indent: 40px;">
	<strong>Truck Tractors</strong></h4>
<p>
	<a href="/cp/truck-tractors"><strong>Truck tractors</strong></a>, also known as <a href="/cp/truck-tractors"><strong>semi-trucks</strong></a>, are one of the most common and popular trucks for transporting goods. It's common to see truck tractors connected to some type of cargo van trailers via a <a href="/cp/truck-parts-and-attachments-fifth-wheel"><strong>fifth wheel hitch</strong></a>.</p>
<h4 style="text-indent: 40px;">
	<strong>Box Trucks</strong></h4>
<p>
	<a href="/cp/van-trucks"><strong>Box trucks</strong></a>, also known as <a href="/cp/van-trucks"><strong>straight trucks</strong></a>, are essentially a smaller version of semi-trucks with a cargo trailer but are considered medium duty trucks. Most models range between a class 3 to class 6, but some models have a gross weight rating to that of a class 7. The next differentiating factor is the cargo box. They come in a variety of sizes from 10ft to 26ft and are generally fixed to the chassis of the truck.</p>
<h4 style="text-indent: 40px;">
	<strong>Reefer Trucks</strong></h4>
<p>
	Reefer trucks or <a href="/cp/refrigerated-trucks"><strong>refrigerated trucks</strong></a> are box trucks that have a refrigeration unit attached to the cargo box which keeps the cargo at a desired temperature.</p>
<h4 style="text-indent: 40px;">
	<strong>Cab &amp; Chassis Trucks</strong></h4>
<p>
	<a href="/cp/cab-and-chassis-trucks"><strong>Cab and chassis trucks</strong></a>consist of a vocational truck cab or a semi-truck cab and the chassis rails. This allows for customization of the truck to attach various beds as per the truck's intended use. This can turn the truck into a service truck, a mechanic's truck or even a straight truck if required.</p>
