Moving sculpture I mostly carved out of one's misery ? (10)

Gritty, perhaps, without starting to be meaningful (10)

A more than respectable turnout given the time of year! Thank you all for taking part.
Can I get a couple of parses please as brain refusing to function...

Hi Paul,

Express semi-trailer overdue after taking a bend
Def = express
semi-trailer = ARTIC + LATE, overdue, around U, a bend

I think Peterm's is (p)ARTICULATE

Thanks mattrom. Spot on. (Last year, I had to have the Diesel Particulate Filter replace on my car. Cost an absolute fortune. I'm still in shock!)

Could BBM2's be

Def = moving
sculpture = ART + I +CU(t), mostly carved + LATE, out of one's misery, ie dead?

Thanks for that Mattrom.
