    It is normally considered to be the job of the company you are at to have docks cleared so trucks can pull in and out. So they should be the ones paying for a tow. Not you or your company. If they refuse then your company is to call the tow, then send the bill to the shipper/ receiver you are at. Again, not your issue unless you are an owner op on your own, in which case you bill them.

    Hi ChromeDome, that's true, but this is a mall, and I'm sure the docks are the last thing on their minds. ( malls have become a hotbed of gang and low life activity)

    Many lessons learned here. One of which I hope is if it looks like you might get stuck or can't pull out, don't back into it until it is taken care of.

    Another thing to think about.
    Many auto parts stores deliver, and Home Despot and Nards will rent you a truck to haul materials to your location.


    Otherwise, very well done.

    Try pouring BLEACH on the tires. Good old clorox or any other brand. let it sit for few minutes, then try it. Nascar crew chiefs bleach tires on the qualifying runs they stick better... Any grocery store has bleach.
