What is an "Upper Coupler"?

 

A: An Upper Coupler is the load bearing surface on the underside of the front of a semitrailer.  The Upper Coupler rests on the fifth wheel of a tractor or dolly and has a downward-protruding kingpin which is captured by the locking jaws of the fifith wheel.  This is basically how the trailer attaches to the tractor.
