I'm not so sure about that. Those super-mega-multi wheel trailers really spread the load over a large area. They'd have more contact area than the mining truck's tires do. I counted at least 12 axles under the lowboy section, and at these usually have least 4 tires per axle, and it looks like the center 6 or 8 axles are wider than the trailer, so another 4 tires for each of those That's at least 72 tires - assuming that there aren't any down the center as well, plus however many are under the dollies at either end.

I'm just speculating and assuming that this trailer is like the the ones I've seen that weren't blurry and shaky.
