Up to 70 feet. It'll vary dependent on the length of the tractor itself. A Peterbilt 379 EXHD, Kenworth W900L, International 9900 iX, Western Star 4964 EX, etc. tend to be on the high end for wheelbase length, which normally runs 260 - 265 inches. A tractor with a long ICT sleeper (commonly used by moving companies) can be up to 330 inches.
That would be a tractor and trailer that has a total of 18 wheels, 10 on the tractor and 8 on the trailer.
Typical length for five axle unit consisting of a sleeper berth tractor and single 48 - 53 ft. trailer will be between 67 and 77 ft. in total length. With a Kenworth W900L and 53 ft. stepdeck, I totaled 77 feet in length. A typical fleet truck will have a wheelbase between 210 and 240 inches. In some states, 57' trailers are allowed to be used without requiring a permit, adding another four feet to the total length of the truck.
A typical tractor trailer unit, with a total of five axles, can typically carry between 23 and 25 tons legally, dependent on the tare weight of the tractor and trailer. The legal interstate gross weight rating for such a setup is 80,000 lbs.

Well there are no 55 foot trailers. The standard now days are the 53 foot trailers. Some companies have experimented with 57 foot trailers but they could ot be taken east of the Mississippi when I was driving. The total length varies depending on the rig that is pulling the trailer. The combination I believe is usally around 65-70 feet, could be a little less or a little more depending on the rig. Having recently conducted a study in California in hopes of changing the length law in this state, I measured 67 tractor trailer combinations. 57 of those combinations had measurements that fell between 73-75 feet. All combinations were made up of a conventioal tractor and a single 53 foot trailer. Hope this helps you.
It depends on what the empty weight of your combination (tractor plus trailer) is. You're allowed a total weight of 80,000 lbs., so, you subtract the tare weight of your tractor and trailer from 80,000 lbs., and you're left with what you can haul legally.
The most common North American 6x4 tractor and tandem trailer combinations have a total of five axles, as do the most common European/Asian/North African configurations of 4x2 tractor and tridem trailer.
Depends on the width and length.
Multiply length X width X height of trailer to find total cubic measure.
The correct use of the word Semi is to refer to the trailer, if a trailer has wheels in the front and back it is a 'full' trailer. A trailer pulled by a tractor/truck using a fifth wheel connection on the front and only having wheels in the back is referred to as a 'semi' trailer. The tractor trailer combination weights approx. 34,000 lbs empty, 80,000 lbs loaded. The tractor itself is around 18,000 lbs. Trailers vary from approx. 30-53 feet with the tractor adding around 12 feet for a total of around 65 feet. The standard height is 13' 6" tall.
The calculation requires information about the rate of acceleration or the total time.
"18 wheeler" referred to tractor-trailer units with a total of five axles (four wheels per drive and trailer axle plus two wheels on the steer axle = 18 wheels). However, it has become a common expression for tractor-trailer units in general, whether or not they have 18 wheels.
