Your opinion on this tow?

I worked for many years for outfits doing heavy duty dirt rock millings hauling for decades, through the years trailers have went over loaded, 18 20yard dumps full have had trunion bars snap......Ive see tow companies with rigs that size recover these trucks
Id be willing to say guys operating rigs that size know what they are doing given the cost of that truck and the damage that could be done to it
That slope was deeper than it looked. I had a 3/4 ton plow truck with 456 gears and a SM 4 speed with the low first gear....... Even if I stayed on the pavement put the truck in 4wd low im not sure if I could have yanked that thing out or just smoked the tires
I also would say while that crane can lift a lot its not made for heavy side pulls.....Its no different than any crane or excavator, meaning you can lift with the hoist or boom but not side load the boom pulling with the turn table
ive repaired many a excavator dipper because operators did exactly that
The crane operator on our derrick would never yank pilings out with a side pull
These guys kept the traffic flowing by not blocking lanes and got that pickup out as safe and quick as possible id say that they know their ****
