    No! A big rig will have a minimum of 42 wheels and gross 164000. :)

    I always thought it was funny they called it a "fifth wheel." On an 18-wheeler, shouldn't it be called a "nineteenth wheel?" And then there's the steering wheel...

    I heard they call it a fifth-wheel because a fifth of it is missing.:biggrin_25523:
