Trucks lift, dump, and carry things every day, everywhere. Did you know that... - Some trucks can weigh as much as ten elephants put together. - Flatbed trucks can carry other trucks, houses, and even a space shuttle! - Semitrailer cabs can have a bed behind the front seat so that drivers can pull over and rest on long trips. - Road-train trucks pull multiple trailers at the same time, just like a locomotive pulls freight cars on a train.
