This tractor trailer was loaded with approximately 20,000lbs of mail. Not sure what caused him to veer off the freeway, but I responded with Hulk (50 ton rotator) and was met by Lacky in a heavy wrecker. There are lots of ways to do a job like this, but because the tractor was in a ditch and the hill was pretty steep, I decided that stabilizing the trailer while the wrecker winches it back up was the best method.

The way I rigged it allowed me to not allow keep the trailer steady from tipping over, but also to lift the front of the trailer and rear axle of the tractor at the same time. This was very helpful towards the end when the landing gear was stuck and I was able to lift it high enough to clear.
