How Much Room Is in a Semi Truck?

Semi trucks come in a variety of sizes and configurations, but they all have one thing in common: they have a lot of room. Depending on the type of semi truck, the amount of room inside can be quite impressive.

The most common type of semi truck is the standard tractor-trailer. These have two sections – the cab where the driver sits and the trailer where goods are stored.

The cab typically has two seats and enough space for the driver to sleep overnight if necessary. The trailer can be anywhere from 28 to 53 feet long, with an average width of 8.5 feet and an average height of 13 feet. That adds up to about 1,112 cubic feet per trailer – enough room to store 21 pallets or more.

A less common type of semi truck is a flatbed. These are designed for hauling large and/or awkward loads that wouldn’t fit in a traditional trailer. Flatbeds come in various lengths ranging from 18 to 48 feet long, with an average width of 8 feet and an average height of 4 feet – adding up to about 384 cubic feet per flatbed.

Finally, there are specialized semi trucks known as refrigerated trailers or reefers. These are designed for transporting temperature-sensitive items like food or medical supplies. Reefers typically range in length from 28 to 53 feet, with an average width of 8.5 feet and an average height of 13 feet – totaling about 1,112 cubic feet per reefer.

Conclusion:

No matter what kind of semi truck you need, you can expect plenty of room inside for your cargo needs. Standard tractor-trailers range from 1,112 to 1,824 cubic feet depending on size, flatbeds range from 384 to 864 cubic feet depending on size, and reefers range from 1,112 to 1,824 cubic feet depending on size. So whatever your cargo needs may be, there’s sure to be plenty of room in a semi truck!
