Wow.. no power steering.... the truck I was driving with the small company, the starter went out, and I was pulled forward into an idle air slot... the tow truck looked at me as says, your gonna have to crank that wheel while I pull your trailer and tractor out... and by the looks off ya it is gonna take all you got and thrm some...

He suggested we see if we could get a bigger male driver to do it... which, I did not want to do, I wanted to do it and not have to ask a male truck driver... so, he hooked it up, went over what I had to do and all and then started to pull me out... I cranked on the wheel... and wow, had no idea it would be that hard.. I gave it my all and we got it 80% out.. and I y arms were noodles.. so... had to ask one of the guys that was near by watching.. and he finished..

I after they got it out and pull started, he even hooked it back up to the trailer for me... I thanked him.. and he told me.. you know, you got it a lot further than I thought you...

M my arms were noodles for a couple days... I cant imagine driving with no power steering.. and I do always che k my power steering.. cause I dont want to be with out it..

It is harder to turn the steering wheel on a power steering equipment truck with the power steering broken or off than it is to steer a non P/S truck.
