It is from the soundtrack of the movie ORDINARY PEOPLE.
In the United States, the longest legal tractor-trailer combination allowed is typically 53 feet in length for the trailer. While the overall length can vary by state due to specific regulations, federal law permits a maximum length of 65 feet for the entire vehicle combination, including the tractor and trailer. However, some states may allow longer combinations under certain conditions, such as "double" trailers. Always check local regulations for specific limits.
It depends on what the empty weight of your combination (tractor plus trailer) is. You're allowed a total weight of 80,000 lbs., so, you subtract the tare weight of your tractor and trailer from 80,000 lbs., and you're left with what you can haul legally.
It can vary according to the configuration of the trailer axles. A straightforward tanndem, with no spread, is permitted 34.000 lbs. on the trailer axles, which would allow the combination to gross out at 66,000 lbs. A 10 ft. spread axle, on the other hand, is allowed to weigh 40,000 on the trailer axles, which would permit the combination to gross 72,000 lbs.
44 tonnes, which is more or less an EU standard.
An articulated lorry is a truck and trailer - a combination involving a tractor unit and a semi-trailer, known in the United States as a semi-trailer truck.

No, it's highly illegal. In some states, however, the vehicle may be allowed to display the plate only on the back of the power unit - on a tractor-trailer combination, this may give the impression of the vehicle not having a plate, as the trailer effectively hides it from view.
The "tractor" is the vehicle which actually powers the combination. A semi-trailer is any trailer in which the weight of the trailer (and the payload) is shared between the trailer's axles and the axles of either a dolly or the towing unit (in contrast, a full trailer supports all of its own weight).
The type of tractor trailer that can hold the heaviest loads is a Semi-Trailer truck. This is the heaviest truck that is allowed on the roads.
it refers to the weight you are legally allowed to carry on a trailer with brakes. (including the trailer) trailers without brakes are restricted to a lesser weight.
Depends on the GVWR of the trailer, the GCWR of the entire combination, and its use.
