@VideoDotGoogleDotCom Genius comment right there :/

Is it just me, or are most truck/semi combinations in the states still 18 wheelers? Do you get higher mass limits there with extra axles, like we do in Australia?

@IWrocker virtually all semi trailers here are 3 axle ones, with 12 wheels. The reason being, the weight limits here for a tandem axle group are 16.5 tonnes, where a tri axle group is allowed 20 tonnes under statutory limits. I wonder if the limits are higher on US roads? (The number of wheels is all about how much damage the weight does to the road)
