Tractor Rental in Boston, MA

Tractors are popular utility vehicles within the commercial trucking industry, the farming industry, and even the airplane industry, but tractors in these three industries look different from one another. In the commercial trucking industry, a tractor refers to a type of truck that is designed with a fifth wheel mounted over the rear axle which enables this type of truck to attach to and transport a “trailer”. The tractor-trailer combination differs from traditional trucks because, unlike a box truck or a flatbed truck that already has an attached cargo area, tractors come separately from a trailer, and they are designed for securing and transporting heavier loads than a more traditional truck with an attached cargo bed could not. These tractors, also known as ‘semis’ or ‘semi-trucks’, are a versatile tool and can be used in most industries, depending on the type of trailer they are transporting. If you’re looking for a tractor or semi-truck rental in Boston, Massachusetts, then consider leveraging the COOP truck-sharing platform for all your commercial vehicle rental needs.

Available Tractor Types

Here are some possible variations of Tractor rentals in Boston

Slope Nose Tractor

The slope nose tractor is a tractor body type that has a curved hood instead of a traditional, box-like hood. The makers of this model intentionally curved the nose to provide less flat surface area for the wind to hit, making these models more aerodynamic. Due to this more aerodynamic shape, these models can have up to 22% improved fuel efficiency compared to conventional models.

Long Hood Tractor

Long hood tractors, also occasionally referred to as conventional tractors, have a long, box-like hood that holds the engine in front of the tractor. These truck styles tend to have more spacious drivers cabs and are more comfortable for drivers as a result. They are also quieter due to the engine being farther away from the driver, and safer in the case the tractor truck gets into an accident.

Sleeper Tractor

A sleeper tractor can be any type of tractor truck that has sleeping space for the driver put into the driver’s cabin. These sleeping spaces typically have a bed (or bunk beds), and also space for a fridge or a microwave. These variations of the tractor-trailer are popular for drivers who do long-distance trips and provide the benefit of a driver not having any disruptions related to finding a hotel to sleep in during the night on their multi-day trips.
