Pulled out a Milk Truck

Well, heading out of the drive today, turn the corner and sitting there spinning its tires is a brand new 77kmiles Sterlin semi with an empty tank on it. pull up, notice its a friend of ours, so offer a tug. Hook up the chain and put it in 4-Hi. Didnt give anytrouble, just puller right on out. ITs that bad, frozen dirt, with a layer of thin layer of snow.


So, we HAD to get a picture....

My favorite part was the expression that came out of the passenger in our trucks mouth "i guess the tow truck will come out on a Sunday"

then we hooked up


We tried to get a video, but we pulled it out too fast...

Got to pull a semi with an empty 53 wagon once.

He tried to U-turn on Hwy 150 outside of Danville Ky, edge was soft wet gravel. Buried his fronts.

Had to use 4-lo and stay on the blacktop, but got the job done.

Nice job.

Real nice picture. I've been patiently waiting for my opportunity but to avail. I keep a logging chain in the ram just in case but I need to bring a camera. Of course, with my tires I better hope that I'm on the something somewhat decent. I guess the tow open diffs don't help much.
