    I bought a 4×4 piece of wood from Menard and cut it into 2 pieces about a foot and a half each and use that. No problems so far using that method.

    Ya, put the 4x4 in front of the tires, wedge them up against the tires as good as possible and start off quickly to kind of jerk the truck getting that chassis to start sliding.

    Well at least you tried it out. Plenty of good companies in our area that doesn't consist of container work.
