While we do carry a Pollak Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47425 which will adapt from a 7-pin on your semi to a 7-blade it will not work properly since the brake lights are separate from turn signals on your 7-pin. Instead you will need to create your own adapter using the following components.
7-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Connector # PK11700
7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket # PK12-707E
Tail Light Converter # HM48847
You will need some wiring for connecting the other circuits plus you will need to have a Brake Controller # HA100400C and wiring ran for the electric brakes used on the trailer.
I have included some wiring diagrams for the different connectors. Be sure to go by the function on the connector and not the color as they are not always going to match.
