Strange... In Europe we typically don't count wheels. 16 or 18 wheels? What? How many wheels does a truck has? Don't know. Nobody thinks this way. I have to count them... We eventually count number of axles which is part of motorway and highway toll calculation for trucks. It's common to distinguish trucks, even full-size commercial vans or light trucks only by their maximum allowed weight: It's a 3.5 ton van, a 7.5-ton, 15-, 30-, 40-tons truck.
But I have no true trucker creds... only a truck & trailer driver's license I got the year I was in the Army.
In Taylorville, Illinois where my wifes Aunt and Uncle live and where her dad grew up is a statue in front of the Courthouse of Abraham Lincoln and a pig, yes a REAL pig, story is as a young lawyer he had a case there but a pig was on the loose and ran under the Courthouse and no one knew how to get it out, so Abraham Lincol, YES the future President of the US crawled under there and caught the pig and brought it out thereby saving the day. He ALSO won his case in the Courthouse not long after that!!

I suspect he meant 18 for 18-wheeler, but there are probably 16 wheel trucks too.
