Single axle tractors derive their name from the number of rear-drive axles they have. These also impact the number of wheels fixed on them, which are also singular on either side. This makes single axle tractors smaller than other tractor types, which is an advantage when it comes to drivability in busy areas. This makes single axle tractors great for deliveries.

Day cabs are single-axle tractors that are meant to be used for shorter distances than a sleeper cab, due to their lack of a sleeper.
