Semi trucks come in different designs depending on how they operate. Day cab tractors are used for local and regional deliveries with no sleeper compartment. Sleeper cab tractors include a resting area behind the driver's seat for long-haul trips. Heavy-haul tractors are built for extremely heavy or specialized loads and sometimes equipped with extra axles.
Popular semi truck models include Freightliner Cascadia, Peterbilt 579, Kenworth T680, Volvo VNL series, and International LT series. While each brand has its differences, they all follow the same rules for weight, size, and operational compliance in Oregon. We help you understand exactly what your specific semi truck needs for legal Oregon operations.
