Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Heavy trucks are provided with six to eight wheels to reduce the pressure. As we know, pressure is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the surface area on which force acts. The more the area, the less pressure exerted by the truck. Heavy trucks have many wheels, so the pressure exerted on the road is reduced due to the large contact area. Also, the pressure is evenly shared among all the tyres, and there is no single tyre under stress.
