Most primitive of the mechanized flatbed tractor trailers, a 1910 Studebaker
Looks too unwieldy to be safe, maybe it's that the size of the car is as big in profile as the truck

I've never posted a photo of a sanitation tanker truck before, but these clever ads and slogans are too funny not to pass on
Thanks Karen!

Variety of cool stuff I came across at the GNRS
Made me laugh
Really great look, I don't think I've seen a steering wheel like this before
before the Garmin, early primitive man had a MAP! This mounted clip board seems to be function and utility for a rally 
great collection!
The shifter know instead of the normal handle is a cool touch, the white walled red rims with beauty rings are damn good looking too

Moving tanks with single and double ended semi tractors (push-pull units for the heavy tanks)
read more about them and see a couple more examples at http://www.roadtransport.com/blogs/big-lorry-blog/2010/07/double-eagle-no-double-header.html#more Renard Daimler Road Train - built for the world road transport market in the early 1900's
This probably qualifies as the first ever semi tractor trailer. Thursday, January 6, 2011
Cool and unusual trucks found on Big Lorry Blog
An older semi in Brazil, and I like the grill, full length and looking like a 1940's car design
Cool.
Looks like the back wheels also steer
Looks like water cannons on top, and armor covering the back
This and the last photo in this gallery are both 4 wheels under the cab.
It seems similar to an F.A.R. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/three-wheeled-tractor-trailer-rig.html but definitly not similar to the Scammell or the Tempo, so it seems there might have been another 3 wheel delivery that I haven't learned about yet.
Mighty powerful little trailer mover
Yuck, very ugly, but does it have this design because that allows it to go under the trailers for reversing the trailer into a loading dock?
Best advertising on a trailer rig I've seen in a while
