I tried but just not enough....pics

Weill a semi got stuck at work today. Guy tried to run through the grass for some reason. I hooked to him but no luck. I told my boss if his duramax could get him out i would go get one but he was scared. He said if i couldnt do it then neither could he. Plastic and aluminum must have less weight I felt beter after the 6x6 and a semi hooked together couldnt get him out though. Took two wreckers. Kinda sucked that they were GM products.

That driver should have been drug tested, what was the reason for cutting across the grass. Plenty of road there. Reps for the quick camera action..

I tried once moving a semi off of a "crown" His low boy dragged accross this high point in the entrance of our parking lot. Anyhow, I hooked up and could not budge him. We ended up using fork trucks and lifting him up, and then had his drive off. It was fun.

It was fun. It would have been more fun if i had pulled him out but o well. He had the bright idea that if he pulled through the grass he could turn around easier than backing in. But after all the snow the past couple weeks, itdidnt work. We are in a temp building while they are working on our new one and we dont have much parking lot.

Was he a Northren Driver??

I mean here, right now, you most likely could drive a tank across the lawn and not sink ( never mind the tracks and all of that, I am refering to the weight ) because the ground is frozen about 2, maybe 3' deep. But if you tried that in the begining of winter, yeah, you will sink..as well as early spring.

It was superising to me that he was from TX. I really expected more from him. i know ppl from there and they got more sense than that.
