new personal record for my dually

[bigchevyc30]

wel tonight some guy from up the street decided to park his 18 wheeler where my parents park theirs. well in the long run he got it stuck and tried pulling it our with the trailer brake engaged so they wouldnt budge. i help him out and he takes the brakes off and still tries to pull out but all he does is spin out from it being muddy and jut rained the past 3 days. so i get my dually and a 20ft 2inch strap and hes not thinking i could pull him since hes got a 53ft cargo container fully loaded and hes thinking its to much weight for my truck. so i double the strap having both hooks to my trailer hitch and the big loop to his tow hook and give her the slow push of gas and out it comes. this guy was in disbelief that my dually just pulled him out. since he was in the mud i had no help from his truck pulling at all. ill get pictures of the truck tomorrow if he still has it parked at the end of the street and of the nice marks he left in the grass

Yuck, a Freightliner Columbia.  What a cheap piece of crap.  Glad your truck was up to the task, though!

i think he learned his diff lock is broke they as he would flip the switch and only 1 side would spin sill

Nice.   
I pulled a Ross express truck, 6 wheel ford LN8000 tractor, and 45 foot trailer up an icy slope on a dirt road once. I came along, and he had made it about 3/4 of the way up the hill. Wasn't real steep. I put a bunch of sand down but he would go about three feet and then the sand would just spin out from under the tires, and he would slide back 6 feet! I sanded the whole rest of the hill, Set my self way up ahead where there was a little bare dirt road showing.  Hooked all 4 of my chains together about 80 feet. Pulled him right up the hill. That was with my 86 3/4 ton.

Sometimes it doesn't take much. Just that little extra traction on virgin ground!

[bigchevyc30]

1) i think there was a chevy ad where a 3/4 ton pulled a huge mining dumptruck.  Let's try to locate that ad which may have been televised or printed. Not sure.

My old Ford had a hard time pulling a Jeep Cherokee out of the mud, and people wonder why we prefer Chevy's
