How many?

How many wheels do you think there are on this thing?

Mines truck in Normanton, about as far north as you can go in Queensland apart from the Aboriginal lands.

82 wheels

Well done, Rye, but not quite right. There's always a catch.  Even I hadn't noticed until this morning, there's a couple of spares on each trailer. Probably 90.

This would be right up your street, wouldn't it Denis, being in the trade, so to speak. I believe they have pressure sensors on each tyre now but someone's still got to pump 'em up. We saw one bloke trying to reverse one of these. Good thing he didn't need to go far. Not a pretty sight!

Even I could not get that up my street Longest load I carried out was 102 feet long and 14 feet wide....and I didnt take a photo of it either. A regular job once was BAC 111 aircraft wings, might, just might have a photo somewhere of those.....

I reckon the same - unless there's a spare we can't figure on :-)
