When, How and for What Was the First Semi-Trailer Trucks Invented and Used For?
A person named Alexander Winton invented the very first semi-trailer trucks back in 1898 in Cleveland, Ohio. He sold his first manufactured semi-truck next year, in 1899 to be exact.
It all started back in 1898 when Winton began producing horseless carriages or better put he become a carmaker. The very same year his company sold their first twenty-two manufactured cars.
It was all good and sharp till a problem arises when the cars needed to get to the buyers somehow.
People from all over the country ordered vehicles but he has to drive them miles and miles away in order to deliver to their new owners.
This creates an additional problem, because if the cars were driven all those miles, then there would be wear and tear on the vehicle plus actual delivery would be expensive.
On the top of that God forbid bad weather condition and almighty with her natural causes!
