Hey AP2002,
you work around the port??????
I work for the Port..
and yes there are some rigs coming out of the Port of Houston that make the one your looking at Brian.. look like a small trailer...

last big load I seen had something like 160 wheels just on the trailer...
for every foot of trailer there where a set of wheels on each side or something like that...and they had a guy that steered the back with a remote control. to help navigate turns...
I could get picks.... of the next big one that comes thru.......

Obviously not.

BTW, the reason our roads suck is because they use salt to clear them off in the winter. The reason there are so many axles is to spread out the weight and no, not every axle has a set of brakes on them

after about 1985, if a axle is on the ground it's got to have brakes.
