Pulling a parachute for 300 miles!

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

I got called for a long distance tractor swap after a truck broke down mid trip. Luckily the drover was able to get to a motel to sleep and reset his logbook time. So I headed to the customers yard to pick up a good truck to tow out to him and swap for the bad truck. In order to pull the truck forward I would have to remove the driveshaft, but since it was a good truck that was going straight to work I didn't want to do that. So I rear towed it instead, but that meant the fairings that are designed to be as efficient as possible through the wind in one direction, are creating a ton of drag and risk damage if I drive too fast without strapping them in place.
After the swap, I already had all the gear out and the @zackliftinternational4841 setup to rear tow, so I just towed the bad unit back the same way. All together it was a little over a 300 mile trip dragging that parachute without any issues.
