Is there no hope left?

Im sitting in Dryden right now after a reset. I parked on icy but melting ground but nothing i thought would be an issue. I do my best to park where i wont be in the way....anyway, the short of it is, the ground froze and the truck wont come out. Ive been trying for 2 hours, chisleing and threw tire chains under for some traction to no avail....i flagged down one of the "new canadians" a member of team brown...asked for a little tug just so it would come up and out of the little hole its in. Tells me no problem, i turn around to go to the truck, he takes off!

Im sitting here in a truck that has tow hooks but no pins, tire chains with no cam tool and no tow strap and 100 drivers that wont help. I did have one driver come over but once we discovered that the tow hooks had no pins, there was really nothing he could do.
I suppose its partially my own fault for not making sure i had EVERYTHING i needed but is there no hope for truckers? No comradery(sp?). We are supposed to band together and help eachother out, especially when you see a new driver struggling....I would NEVER do anything as gutless as what that ####### just did....old or new, brown or not, Id help....what a sad industry this is!

 

Ive had a couple guys come over now but without the tow pins its not likely to work so well....company is sending a tow truck but id rather have not had to do that...oh well, it is what it is i guess

 

No it was just sunk in so bad it couldnt get up and out of the hole...im pretty much empty too...i think if i had some weight on my drives id have been ok...ive got about 2000lbs on the back of the trailer, even if it was on the pin i dont think it would have helped

 

Yea both, had everything locked up...it just sank in the soft ground and then didnt have enough weight to get any traction...unfortunate coincidence i guess
