Talking big rigs, semi's have the best and safest hitch over a truck and trailer's pintle hitch setup.
Pintle hitch and ring are half the size of a semi's 5th wheel pin, pintle hitch requires safety chains should the hitch fail, due to the slack in a pintle hitch it has a rougher jerky ride over a 5th wheel.
Truck trailer combo does have advantages.
Trailer trails the truck better with less chance of dropping the trailers wheels off the road in tight turns, you can unhook the trailer and still use to truck for small jobs or in tight locations where a semi can't go.
Our local mill uses both depending on the job, semi's haul all of the lumber and waste wood from the mill and use a truck with out a trailer for small local deliveries.
Truck trailer combos are used for hauling logs from the woods with occasional use of semi's depending on roads traveled and yarding room to maneuver semi's in.
Here logs are cut to length in the woods, in areas where tree length is hauled a semi would be needed.
