18, hence the name.
"18 wheeler" referred to tractor-trailer units with a total of five axles (four wheels per drive and trailer axle plus two wheels on the steer axle = 18 wheels). However, it has become a common expression for tractor-trailer units in general, whether or not they have 18 wheels.
A vehicle that can have as many as 18 wheels is a tractor-trailer truck, also known as an 18-wheeler. These trucks typically have 18 wheels, with four wheels on the front axle and dual wheels on each of the two rear axles. The additional wheels help distribute the weight of the cargo more evenly, improve stability, and allow for the transportation of heavy loads over long distances.
Well... I'm pretty sure it has 18 wheels :)
An Apé is a 3 wheeler
- There are many other combinations out there of "18-wheelers" that do not have 18 wheels. Basically, an "18-wheeler" is the slang term for any truck-trailer combination that is over 26,000# and uses a 5th wheel setup for attaching the trailer to the tractor (truck). - A typical, standard, five axle tractor-trailer combination in North America has 18 wheels. Always has, always will. - In some instances, companies may replace the dual wheels with what are known as 'Super Singles' - a single, very wide tire and rim which replace a dual wheel. There are several companies out there that think that this is a more efficient way to run tires on their rigs. - Of course, there are combinations which may have more or less road wheels - a tractor-trailer which has less or more than 18 wheels is still a tractor-trailer, for which the term "18 wheeler" has become synonymous (due to 18 wheels being the norm). - The term "18-wheeler" is just like Vice-Grips (locking-jaw pliers), or Channel-Locks (slip-jaw pliers), or Kleenex (tissue paper). - They are all "improper" names synonomously used for a given item. Kudos!
