My son wants to know if there are 16 wheelers

When hauling super loads I have 48 wheels.

 

I find it odd that over here your doubles and triples are tiny, in Australia all trailers are 53ft, so our triples are around 200 feet long, then when you go real out into the middle of nowhere they are around 8-16 trailers depending on where your going all connected, throws up a dust cloud that can be seen from around 10iles away

 

Never had a chance to see them in person, but would love to just ride one time on one trip.

 

You would be bored out of your mind, think just dirt, only excitement would be if you ran over a kangaroo or an aboriginee

 

There are also 16 Wheel Dump Trucks, I don't know where to
OP is but in Arizona there are a bunch of them, they haul dirt and rock that can get heavy very quickly. I hope this helps the little man!!

 

Hmm, at that rate, what if i have a tire that is blown and moving it to a truck stop? The numbers are endless!! I think let's keep it simple.

 

Nice! Looks very sexy!!

 

Never seen a 16 wheeler. 14 wheelers, yes, lots of Canadian trucks are 22 wheelers. Many 18 wheelers are now using "Super Singles" where 1 really wide tire takes the place of two dualies, meaning many 18 wheelers are really 10 wheelers.

Some trucks have over 100 wheels. Some of those trucks with 100 or more wheels may have a 2nd truck pushing the first truck.

 

Of course its just a tractor trailer with only one axle on the 5th wheel instead of a tandem. Or it could be standard tractor with 2 axles on drive with a trailer with only one axle .either way that would make up a 16 wheeler, however very rare to find.

 

And the joys of bearing works Wheels within the wheels. Glaze that boy's eyes out proper. Sprout about bearings long past sundown while holding him on the porch swing to respectfully listen to you... until you are finished talking sometime prior to sunrise.
