Hello everybody ... When I was working as a lorry driver, I could understand what the word eighteen-weeler means. An eighteen-weeler is synonimum of lorry driver or truker aswell. This kept my attention and quikily realized that in Europe the lorrys does'n have eighteen weels, because in Europe the truks used to have twelve 'cause economical reasons.
Please send to me some coments about that.

    Nice to point out one fact that shows the result of the higher prices of oil in Europe. Your experience as driver of an eighty-wheeler must be fruitful. Are you still a trucker?
    Do you know that Europeans are thinking of reducing all vehicles to one-wheel system, like monocyles?
