So what do you do when truck gets stuck

Oil-dry or kitty litter under the drives works pretty well. Snow chains can give extra traction, too. Sometimes dumping your tractor suspension will get you a little better traction, especially on uneven ground. You can also block off the service line to the trailer and apply slight brake pressure to increase the torque needed to "spin" the tires with the least traction, which would transfer power to the wheels with slightly better traction. (If you try that method and DON'T block off the service line to the trailer, the trailer brakes will be working against you).

There's other things you can try...just be creative with what you've got available to you. If all else fails, have somebody give you a tug or call a wrecker.

 

Y'all took my question at face value... of course he's stuck from lack of traction....

Does driver know what a diff lock is? Has he tried it? Has he rocked it?

Is he dumping the clutch in high gear or can he crawl a bit in low?

 

Throw a set of 3 railers and be gone. Could even possibly just lay them in front of tires on ground to get a lil to get going.

Be careful where you park!

 

The real answer is to have his girlfriend get her fat rear end out of the jump seat and go stand on the catwalk to put some weight on the drives

 

You ain't lying!

Some of those truck riding women are big enough to run on diesel!

 

I would never call a wrecker for that. I always have full lockers on both drives.
Gently rock it, get some one to give you a pull, tire chains are used in the mud all the time in the oil patch. If it will move a little, some 2x4's would help.
One bad thing about all position tires, they are useless in the mud.

 

In my field of work we get stuck all the time. 2nd or 3rd gear, locked in at about 2100 rpm should pull that light weight out

 

I was stuck in a snow packed trailer drop lot and I rocked the truck back and forth to get unstuck by holding fuel peddle to the floor to go forward then holding the clutch down to go back

 

Only time I've really gotten stuck is twice in the last 2 months because these tn ranchers are too cheap to buy gravel. Fortunately the places we load at always have tractors.

I've gotten stuck in drop lots a couple times bob tail when I tried to pick up my truck after a bad blizzard. I just had a forklift or grader pull me out then. Whatevers available..

 

Would be pretty hard (and messy) putting chains on stuck in the mud already. He needs a loader or cat to give him a pull!
