Pissed off J.B. Hunt driver

never good when u hesitate,and let ur wheels hang up in a rut,then panic,because u did

 

At least he was trying to help.

Couldn't have said it better!

 

Man against Nature! That's why they require chains on CMV.

I guess he was exploring an option that didn't require them, LOL.....

 

Definitely frustrating when you get stuck that way. Been there, done that, albeit without the theatrics. I backed over a grassy spot, years ago, trying to get out of a parking lot. Unbeknownst to me, under that grass was a drain and the soil was soaked. My drives hit it and that was all she wrote. Ended up having to get a hook to move me about three feet. What a dumb-###.

 

Only in select states are chains required in CMV.

 

4th or 5th gear, straighten steers, rock, rinse, repeat.

 

Unless you have your drives stuck in a wet grassy swale in Houston...

 

well he does drive for jb hunt' so right there he is not to smart.lol

 

That guy was stuck hard enough it was going to take more than that pickup to get him out, but you'd be amazed at how little force it can take to unstick a big truck! I've pushed (yes, me, by hand) bobtails out of ice 'pans' more than once, and once even an empty tanker combo! It was always in a situation where the truck would rock, but needed that extra couple hundred pounds of force to get it to pop out of the 'pans.' I had the advantage of a dike wall when I did the combo, but it was still funny! And it's really not all that hard, it's more a matter of timing than strength; I probably only weighed 175 at the time, and I wasn't a gym rat or anything.
