Currently Maryland is getting quite a bit of snow. I had to come to work this morning and on the 45 mile commute, which took an hour longer than normal, I saw about seven or so cars off in the ditch. When I was taking the exit ramp off of I-95 I came across a stopped Semi on the ramp. The terminal for him is just before my job site so I figured what the heck, let me try to get him up this ramp. A Loaded double semi, 80,000# up a exit ramp that has not been plowed, about 8" of powder sitting on it. I have got to be nuts to try this but what the heck. 4 lo 1st gear to get rolling then shifted to second for a little more wheel speed. Got him up the ramp and onto the road until he could move under his own power. And for the non-believers here are the pictures.

 

If I'm ever on the side of the road I hope your the one to stop. Nice job man!!!

 

Nice!

 

see thats why i bought a cummins! i would have loved to see a ford or chevy try to pull that! good job man!

 

Thats freaking sweet.. Thats a good deed for sure.

 

thats awsome man... i pulled a miller lite semi truck out of a bar parking lot cause he was stuck if that counts..... dont have ny pics tho... wut did u use? chains or a strap?

 

Man I love the cummins I have yet to put mine to the test but that is the reason that I bought one. And looking to get a 2nd for the wife. I have seen alot of loads on them around here that are not for the squeemish

 

a cummins will pull a house

 

Thought I replied to this but I guess not. I used a single chain, a grade 70 3/8" chain that was 14' long iirc. I do not carry straps in the truck, just a chain.

 

LOL I was just thinking about this thread this morning. I had a US Foods truck back in to my dock and they have to back down a slope into a pit that is about 4ft deep and the trucks with the 28ft trailers sit right where the incline goes up when backed in anyways it snowed about 6 in last night and he tried gettin out and just spun didnt move at all. So I thought I remember someone pulling a Semi before It can be done. Everyone at work like 10 people were out there watchin saying your truck (ctd) cant pull it out I hooked a tow strap to it put it in 4low and out we came I was pretty proud of the ol truck btw the US food truck was about half full grossed prolly 32-35k or so not too much but still was proud.
