There's a snipe hunt we use on new drivers - we'll ask them how many wheels there are on the truck. They'll reply with 18 in reference to the 18 wheels and tyres on the road. Then we'd turn around and tell them that they forgot the steering wheel, flywheel, and fifth wheel.

A five axle unit will typically have 18 wheels. Not all tractor-trailer combinations have 18 wheels, though.
