About 18-Wheeler Trucks

An 18-wheeler is a type of large truck that gained its name for having 18 wheels. A typical 18-wheeler typically is composed of two parts: the tractor (which holds the driver and engine) and a trailer (which carries cargo.) The tractor may have three axles: a front axle with two wheels and two rear axles with double wheels on each side. This accounts for a total of 10 wheels on the front part of the truck, and another 8 wheels on the trailer, which will typically have two axles at the rear with dual wheels on each. As such, you have a standard 18-wheeler. These vehicles may weigh anywhere from 10,000 to 80,000 pounds, depending on the particular vehicle and the cargo it is carrying.
