Each tire in the 18 wheeler is much larger [surface area] so that does spread out the weight some. But the truck is still very heavy.
Just wondering.......whey can't the driver put the cokes on a dolly and bring them to the storage building on a sidwalk. They do that all the time when they deliver to stores.
You may have to rethink pouring the driveway with something more that 3.5" thick concrete. Just guessing [this is out of my experience] maybe 6" thick.
I would not allow that 18 wheeler to get on the "new" concrete for at least a month after it is poured.

There isn't enough room for the 18-wheeler to make the turn onto my driveway. It will cost my wife almost $7000 per year for liability for the Coke guys to enter our property. They will just block the street and unload the Cokes onto a dolly or cart. Guess who will be wheelin' the Cokes?
