Dodge Ram 2500 pulls an 18 wheeler out of the ditch

This video is already 5 years old, but still worth watching !!!

One of my favorite comments from the comment section--

"Legend has it that Dodge never stopped and he is still pulling that 18 wheeler around"

It worked out but he should have pulled him backwards, the trailer was on solid ground.

That was a happy video. No doubt that trailer was empty or light.

True that .... though one reason to pull him forward would be to avoid driving the wrong way down a fairly busy, four lane road.

The one below is neither empty or light, nor is it even on pavement -- pretty incredible !!!

Especially since it appears the semi isn't running (didn't see anything out of the stacks nor any wheel spin).

Very nice. That'll be rough on the motor mounts, though.

According to the main YouTube site, that took place in northern British Columbia. I performed an, ahem, similar service a number of years ago, in Alaska. It was autumn (meaning mid-August) and the rain had been pretty steady for six weeks. The rig I pulled, also not chained up, was a lowboy carrying a load of midweight mining equipment. I was operating a bulldozer, but I forget which brand. It was probably a John Deere and smaller than a Cat D6. All we had was a chain. Slow and steady for about a mile.

Are you going to tell me next that the semi had its brakes on the whole time ? LOL!!! JK!!!
