    yup...Mt Vernon, TX

    Tow truck was there when I arrived.

    In truth, some of the guys at the pumps were even sadder. When one was asked to move so another driver could fuel...his answer

    "Where do you want me to go, the exit is blocked??" It worked really well too, until someone asked him how the hell he got in the lot to begin with.:biggrin_25512:

    Let me guess..........TA on I70 exit 203 in Forestell, MO?
    I saw a "low-boy" high centered there last summer. Had the entrance/exit blocked for 4 hours. NO ONE in or out. Talk about pizzed-off drivers.

    and neither one powered out of it? Anyone ever been to Nobel Sysco, Billings, MT? Excellent lot to go this in, I've done it twice in 15 deliveries there, each time I've powered out of it, but then again I had an empty trailer when I did it.

    No that truck was -stuck- lol. It wasn't going ANYWHERE. I tried flipping it down to low and pulling out but it was firmly stuck. I even tried backing out of it. The problem was when the trailer got to that angle, it pulled the drives on the driver side so that they were not touching the ground. All trying to get out of that got me was new tires on the drives.

    Don't look that deep to me either. I bet he hesitated when he felt the trailer drop, then it was all over.
    I believe if he had kept his foot in it, it would have pulled out.

    It's not that easy to get them stuck if you're PAYING ATTENTION!

    Shoulda dropped the bags and powered out in reverse,it works more often then not when the tandems are pinched in these instances.
    From the looks of the original pics,this may have been a workable option ?

    So true! Probably 99.9% of truck related incidents are due to NOT paying attention. I know the ones I've been involved in were because of that.
