It's a trick question commonly asked of new drivers. The new driver will typically respond that there are 18, at which point, they will be told that they forgot to mention the steering wheel, flywheel, and fifth wheel.

Why is an eighteen wheeler called an eighteen wheeler if it only has 12 wheels?

- There are many other combinations out there of "18-wheelers" that do not have 18 wheels. Basically, an "18-wheeler" is the slang term for any truck-trailer combination that is over 26,000# and uses a 5th wheel setup for attaching the trailer to the tractor (truck). - A typical, standard, five axle tractor-trailer combination in North America has 18 wheels. Always has, always will. - In some instances, companies may replace the dual wheels with what are known as 'Super Singles' - a single, very wide tire and rim which replace a dual wheel. There are several companies out there that think that this is a more efficient way to run tires on their rigs. - Of course, there are combinations which may have more or less road wheels - a tractor-trailer which has less or more than 18 wheels is still a tractor-trailer, for which the term "18 wheeler" has become synonymous (due to 18 wheels being the norm). - The term "18-wheeler" is just like Vice-Grips (locking-jaw pliers), or Channel-Locks (slip-jaw pliers), or Kleenex (tissue paper). - They are all "improper" names synonomously used for a given item. Kudos!
