This includes everything from furniture to cars and even livestock. The average length of a semi truck is about 53 feet long, with an average width of 8 feet and an average height of 13 feet.

The front cab houses the driver’s seat and controls for navigating the truck, while the back typically contains storage compartments for tools, spare parts and other cargo items. There are also typically sleeping areas in some larger semis where drivers can rest during long trips.

This portion can be anywhere between 28 and 53 feet long depending on its purpose and size. The inside walls may also include shelves or racks for added storage space.
