Well, we have ten brake assemblies, to your four. Your little Ford Escort weighs about 1200# We weigh, on average 75000#. Do the math. Your brakes stop about 400# each. Ours stop about 7500# each. More than this, in some instances. So, don't play "chicken" with an "elephant". |

| you might want to check your definition of a tandem....from my exepirence you have defined there the term of duel tires....I was taught and its possible i could be wrong but a tandem was the complete set of two axel with 8 tires and wheel. think of sliding tandems to get axel weights for your wagon. |

| Again, if you want to split hairs, an "18 wheeler" can have more than 5 axles, if they have singles. Seems to be used more generically now, to just specify a big rig. Trucks can have more choices for transmissions. Anywhere from 5-18 spds without an aux. transmission. 9, 10, and 13 are the most common. 9 or 10spds used mostly in fleet trucks. Seen 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15 and 18. There are various combinations to get the gearing as well. With or without a splitter/back box or aux. trans. Plus, you get to toss in the single vs 2spd rear axles on straight trucks and heavy haulers. |
