==Overview==
It is the only vehicle of it's type in all of the games, except in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], where it is supplemented by two other semi-trucks.
The Linerunner's performance is what would be expected for a vehicle of it's size and weight, it's slow to accelerate and hard to maneuver in tight spaces, but once it gets going it has a decent top speed. Disappointingly, though, it's not quite as strong as it's intimidating appearance and size would suggest, and it gets knocked around by other vehicles surprisingly easily. The Linerunner's handling is fairly steady, but if the player does manage to roll it over it's very difficult to get it back onto it's wheels, due to it's height.
 
== Description ==
=== Design ===
The Linerunner is design as a typical American standard cab-styled semi truck with an extended drivers' cab quarter, sharing design cues of a [[wp:Peterbilt|Peterbilt 379]], albeit far more simplified. The truck remained largely similar throughout its appearances, with the exception of the radiator grill design, among other minor cosmetic changes.

Along with the [[Tanker]] and [[Roadtrain]], the Linerunner in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] can be connected to a trailer in order to haul cargo, and is used in the '''Trucking''' missions; with the presence of two new semi-trucks in GTA San Andreas, the Linerunner is also revealed to be the slowest and least powerful semi-truck of the three.
