There was a story about a road train in the Northern Territory where the driver had got himself stuck in a muddy ditch and couldn't get out. He went to get some help and when he got back the entire road train was sitting there on the side of the road. Apparently a grader operator cleaning ditches had come by while he was gone and pulled the entire road train out and parked it on the side of the road.😂😁👍👍

In 2006 when we done the Ord River Crossing and the water was higher than normal and yes it to was a couple truck he got caught up I said to the guy put the straight bar on an the other truck will try to pull you out. Well that didn't work so I said double line or Triple line pull from your truck to the big tree and still using your straight bar well it worked. I take my hat off to you as a true champion having out a fellow trucker double line winching was an excellent idea but I reckon if you went triple and a strap anchored to a tree behind you so you don't slide forward. But your efforts that you have done have been excellent.

Biggest mistake the truckie made was to try and steer back onto the concrete. He should have stopped the instant his front wheel popped off, then reversing might have got it back on again. If not, the loader bucket would have lifted him back on again. But, life in remote areas is kept interesting with social recovery gatherings :) Luckily the crocs were well fed.....

Later saw several videos on KZread illustrating the presence of crocs at Cahill's Crossing - there were a lot of crocs showing. We checked our photos again recently and realised that the Crossing in our photo was the Cahill's Crossing featured on KZread - it sent a few shivers down the spine at the thought. Glad the truck got out safely and totally understand your concern regarding the presence of the crocs in the area.

Was the driver asleep? Can't believe he would drift that far from the markers which clearly showed the roadbed to his left. He must have never driven before.

I'd assign that drive to manure laoding duty for a few years until he gets it.
