LOL This case was the 2nd time I'd had to wrestle a 60,000 pound truck off the road without power steering.

I've been lucky to only have to move a 4,058 pound car off the road without power steering.
In neutral and without brake assist.
(Engine stalled at speed in a 55 zone, everything was power. Power steering, brakes, and windows. What fun..)
I picked a place to 'set her down' and hauled the wheel over after slapping the car into neutral.
60k pounds?
I'd never have made it..
