It's not corrosive (consider: DexCool runs through radiator hoses. They're rubber and it doesn't eat them), but it is extremely toxic, and if your tire springs a leak the EPA will be on you like white on rice. I found out about a product called RimGuard, which is non-corrosive and very safe to use.

Is there a semi truck with two axle's but has only one drive axle?
You mean with tandem axles, or with just two axles total?
In the case of having two axles at the rear, yes. This is pretty common in Europe, where a standard 2x4 tractor will have an additional tag or pusher axle in order to reduce wear on roadways.
In the US, it isn't so common, but it's not unheard of. I know Schneider National used to run some Freightliner Argosy COEs which had a single drive axle and a tag axle behind it.. when backing, the driver could raise the tag axle, and it would shorten the overall wheelbase of the power unit, allowing for tighter turns to be made.
How does engine RPM affect PTO RPM?
As engine rpm increases so does pto speeed
And if you tach your motor to an excessive amount of RPMs while the PTO is engaged, it will destroy that PTO, leading to zero PTO RPMs.
How do you adjust a 10 speed clutch?
Assuming it's an Eaton-Fuller 10 speed (I've never dealt with the Rockwell 10 speed), it's a rather simple process.
You should have 1-1/2" to 2" of free play in your clutch once it's adjusted.
On our fleet, there aren't any access covers over the bell housing. Yours might have one (especially if it's a vocational truck).
It's best if you have two people doing this. Otherwise, you'll need a prybar and hood prop for sure. Basically, one person gets underneath the truck. You take off the access cover, and look up into the bell housing with a flashlight. You'll see three bolts in a row at one point on the pressure plate - that needs to be at the bottom, and directly accessible through the access hole. If it isn't, you either need to have someone bump the starter until it is accessible, or else depress the clutch with your hood prop, and rotate it counterclockwise until those bolts are. The center bolt of those three is the one you'll use to adjust your clutch. With the clutch depressed, you'll take a ratchet and 5/8" socket, and rotate it.. clockwise to increase the amount of free play, and counterclockwise to decrease it. When your adjustment is done, there should be 1/2 inch gap behind the throwout bearing, and it should be 1-1/2" of freeplay in the clutch pedal.
Keep in mind that, one some trucks (such as the Volvo VNL and VHD and Kenworth T680, there is a hydraulic clutch, and it should adjust automatically. If it's failing to do so, I'd recommend you take it to a service center to have the work done.

A refrigerated trailer is insulated and has a climate control unit affixed to the front which can either refrigerate or heat the trailer to a specified temperature. Often used for transporting perishables and temperature sensitive chemicals. Lots of companies run them.... they are the mainstay of fleets such as C.R.

What movie has the evil semi truck?
Maximum Overdrive (1986), based on the Stephen King short story "Trucks"
A vented van trailer is a type of enclosed trailer designed for transporting goods that require ventilation, such as perishable or temperature-sensitive items. It features built-in vents or openings that allow airflow, helping to reduce moisture and maintain appropriate temperatures inside the trailer. This design is particularly useful for transporting agricultural products, live animals, or other items that can spoil or be damaged by excessive humidity. The trailer maintains the security and protection of a standard van trailer while providing the necessary airflow.
