Pulling flatbed maybe. I have been down some trails that even a donkey would look at and say " what the ####?" Lol always call the customer if ur not sure. And if u are pulling a reefer. I cant imagine there is gonna be a freezer warehouse down a road like that. Flatbed going to a jobsite lots of dirt roads n mudholes. But the phone comes in very handy, preferebly before u have to call the wrecker to come pull u out

Google Maps
I was sent to a mine.... I checked the company GPS, my GPS and Google maps. My atlas doesn't have that level of detail.
S.W. Pennsylvania is horrible. All the roads are posted 10k lbs.
If you look at the map you can't tell half that road is washed downhill and it only gets better...
I seriously barely made it out. I thought I might die falling off the hill, frontwards backwards or sideways. It was truly terrifying.
I also had to back up around a curve to not push a school bus full of kids off said hill.
Some things are not apparent on any maps... Sometimes you get part way along and obviously have no way to turn around... maybe that's what happened here?Upinsmoke Thanks this. -

And it brings back memories of my high school days.
There was a road that some of us would use for a make out spot.
That was in the Bay Area, CA.
We called it 'D but P' because there was sign at the entrance turn that read 'Dangerous but Passable'.
The turn I got my car stranded in the mud looks exactly like that turn.
That is a long story to tell, but I will only tell this part.
Cut to... Several rich kids with rich kids cars came to help out one of their own early that morning.
They said if we helped out, they would help get us out too.
We went with them to a different back road where I saw something I have yet to see again.
As we go up and along this road, twisting and turning in the mud in a 4WD Range Rover, there is a set of tire tracks 4 inches deep into the mud and all over the road.
The car we came to 1/2 mile in that was stuck, was a Lotus Elan.
