    Well, to be accurate, it's called a fifth wheel because the guy who designed it did it one night after drinking a fifth of whiskey that was missing from his neighbors cabinet.

    Well IDIeselman, a real big rig will have 58 wheels and can gross 249,500. But really what was the point to that video?
