Chinese technicians have developed an extra long truck which is a 73,2 meters in length and mounted with 880 wheels.

"A newly developed large truck of 73.2 metres long is seen at an auto factory in Suzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province December 11, 2006. With hydroulic power systems, the super-extended truck could load 2,500 tons of cargo at a time." (Xinhua)

That they certainly do. Most of the highways here are brand new beautifully smooth roads.

Not belittling the accomplishment - but just to let you know, these "super loads" have been around as long as trucks have been around

Can you give any other examples of 880 wheels or more on a single trailer?
