Hey so I’m at a truck stop in Davenport IA parked on 2 inches of ice as the whole parking lot wasn’t cleaned. Tried to leave this morning and all I was able to do is to spin the tires. I couldn’t get chains on, TCS didn’t work couldn’t drive or even go reverse. Parking lot is not level so I thought neutral would work but didn’t. Even tried to lower the airbags to pull out bobtailing but still drives spinning.
Steering tires were not doing anything. Dispatch was on my *** blaming me for parking here.
what annoys me is other trucks just drive around fine why am I getting stuck?
I have a ‘18 Volvo automatic. 450k miles.
Truck stuck on 2” of ice.

Put your interaxle lock in.
If you have diff locks, engage those too.KB3MMX, '88K100, Rideandrepair and 2 others Thank this. -
Buy some kitty litter. Make a path and drive onto your chains. An experienced winter driver can spin his iron on without damage. Good luck.
