Zerby Derby is a Canadian preschool television series that was created by Phil McCordic. It aired on Sprout in the US. Its French version (shown on Mini TFO) is called Zoubi Doubi; the same title is used in the Spanish dub.
The series follows the adventures of anthropomorphic motor vehicles Zack, Lily, Rex and Axle as they embark on daily adventures of crossing streams, building dams and exploring meadows, approaching every potential problem with cheerful enthusiasm. No obstacle is too large for the Zerbies, thanks to their mantra "try, try again!". The vehicles are remote-controlled and also employ moving eyes for added expression. A number of episodes aired from 2013 to 2015, though regular uploads occur on the show's new YouTube Channel.

A semi-trailer truck, also known as a semi-truck, (or semi, big rig, tractor-trailer, or eighteen-wheeler) is the combination of a tractor unit and one or more semi-trailers to carry freight. A semi-trailer attaches to the tractor with a type of hitch called a fifth wheel.
A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport freight, carry specialized payloads, or perform other utilitarian work. Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration, but the vast majority feature body-on-frame construction, with a cabin that is independent of the payload portion of the vehicle. Smaller varieties may be mechanically similar to some automobiles. Commercial trucks can be very large and powerful and may be configured to be mounted with specialized equipment, such as in the case of refuse trucks, fire trucks, concrete mixers, and suction excavators. In American English, a commercial vehicle without a trailer or other articulation is formally a "straight truck" while one designed specifically to pull a trailer is not a truck but a "tractor".
