How do you move your CMP around?

[Phil Waterman]

I've been reading with interest the various comments about towing military vehicles. It always reminds me of a story that a friend with a GMC duce and half tells. Steve was a great one for dragging some General Motors Truck home generally behind his duce. He had finally re-engined the towing duce with a more powerful, newer 270, and was actually able to move down the secondary roads at a reasonable speed. One day he was towing another new duce home and things were going fine until he needed to slow the combination down suddenly as he pushed harder and harder on the brakes all ten wheels of the truck stopped turning but the truck didn’t stop moving. The combination of no load in the towing truck and twice the weight of truck was just to much for ground contact area of 10 non-directional military tires. Fortunately nothing more dramatic than leaving some surprising marks on the pavement happened
