Some of the highway rescue units do use exhaust inflated "upset bags" to right overturned rigs.

le bag jacks. There are all sorts of situations the crews run into where a standard jack will not fit or do the job. ^_^
Not in my experience, they all use compressed air. There are compressors an d air bottles on trucks. I don't know how they would attach to a trucks exhaust because they have drive away connections in the stations to keep nasty stuff under control.
I also think the bags would degrade with diesel exhaust trapped in them...
It's been awhile but I'm willing to learn.
