Tirar del carro
 

pull the wagon:thinking:
Does this mean tow the line?

I don't know what does"tow the line" means.
It is a directly meaning, like "pull the wagon" as you quoted. It's that a person or a group push something (pull the waggon) in order to make it move or works.
"La empresa no funciona, contrataremos a un nuevo director general para que tire del carro"
"Ya podéis todos ayudarme con este proyecto, que soy el único tonto que tira del carro"
"Era un proyecto difícil, pero funcionó porque todo el mundo tiró del carro"
"El equipo inglés de fútbol no consiguió clasificarse, Rooney era el único que tiraba del carro"

Saludos :D

Yes, it is implied that the wagon has a line attached to it, else it would be push the wagon...

Yes Hernan in English we tow the line (pull the cart) and in Spanish the person pushes this cart.

Habia una cación: Baby I'm..I'm tired of towin' the line....

Gracias Sosia por tus ejemplos.

Is the same in Spanish

Tira del carro

Empuja el carro.

Supposedly there is a line, but you can pull a car by the bump, right? :rolleyes:

I believe it's more common to toe the line. http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/english/72/tow/

Thank you pjt.

I don't think we have an equivalent in Spanish, at least in Chile.

:thumbsup:Very good pjt. I have new understanding of the phrase. Now, I don't toe the line means tira del carro.

I think the closest English phrase might be "to pull your weight".

Yes, that's right, "to carry the burden of responsibility"
tirar del carro
1. fr. coloq. Pesar sobre una o más personas exclusivamente el trabajo en que otras debieran o pudieran tomar parte.
DRAE

It could also mean "to lead the way" in some contexts. And in some others, "uno más para tirar del carro" one more person who is going to help (take responsibility, contribute, you name it...) :)
