West Bengal, India: Starting a Large Truck With a Rope (Video)

A heavy-duty truck has one side of the drive axle jacked up, and there’s a short length of rope tied through a hole in the wheel and around the tire.

Whatever could that be for?

Watch and learn, my friends. Watch and learn.

The wheel keeps spinning afterward. I wonder if the transmission has a neutral position. If not, I’m not volunteering to crawl under there to remove that jack.
