Motorway police / traffic patrols here will pull a 44t’er off the road with their Discovery’s if necessary. Forget where I saw it, one of the cop shows I think.

Years ago I went out for an evening patrol with a Thames Valley traffic Discovery

We pulled a loaded petrol tanker up the hard shoulder and up a slip road to safety with a 200tdi Disco in low box

yes and people will tell you that disco's are a load of rubbish for towing

All the highways officers I see all have to be 18 stone, where 4 layers of hi viz so they waddle around and the only thing they pull is the wrapper off another chocolate bar while they keep the road closed for 6 hours due to one tiny bit of shingle on the road....

A load of petrol ain't overly heavy.

Talking of T cabs. It's a conversion. I think its one ugly looking thing. Ugly Duckling

Company near me makes them, completely pointless as it's a regular, longer truck with the cab positioned back, but some people simply love it. Gotta admire their craftiness.

Even empty it’s illegal as it’s over length.
