In the United States, a semi truck - unless its use falls under one of the exempt categories and criteria defined by the FMCSA (e.g., farm truck exemption, emergency vehicle exemption, et. al) - you need a Class A Commercial Drivers License which does not have the "no air brakes" restriction or the "no tractor-trailers restriction".
A full grown Semi tractor trailer: CDL-A (Commercial Drivers License) it will cost you approximately anywhere from $2500 -$5000 to take the course. If you get hired on by certain companys such as Schneider, PAM, USA, England plus others they will either send you to class or teach you themselves.
This license allows you to drive other trucks also such as a dump truck, garbage truck etc.... these only require a CDL-B class license. However the reverse is NOT true. If you have a CDL-B you are not qualified to drive a full grown semi tractor trailer. Hope this helps youo. Steve
