An 18-wheeler is a large trucking rig consisting of a tractor and a trailer. These often have 18 wheels and are therefore referred to as “18-wheelers.” These large commercial trucks are also referred to as tractor-trailers, semi trucks and big rigs. 18-wheelers are often used to transport large quantities of different types of products and goods, and therefore may weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded.

The immense size of an 18-wheeler makes it a potential disaster even in perfect road and weather conditions, and when an experienced truck driver is behind the wheel. The load on the truck may have been improperly balanced or may shift during delivery, resulting in a vehicle that is even more difficult to navigate. When negligence on the part of the truck driver, trucking company or another party enters into the mix, an 18-wheeler accident may easily occur.
