I'm in the transportation industry and your use of "semi-truck" doesn't instill confidence.

I'm surprised to hear this distinction. I've had my CDL for 15 years and worked on trucks for about a decade allover the east coast and found that when talking to the general public semi truck was the best way to talk about Class 8 trucks and calling them 'tractors' was always the worst.

Always interested to hear your experience.

Good to know. We use the term "semi truck" because it's more widely used, and we figured that folks might not know the term class 8 truck!
