I doubt you will drive that truck out unless the ground freezes solid. It needs to be jacked up and solid boards under all wheels. It has six wheel chocks at the moment. A big farm tractor or a backhoe could give you some momentum. Chains is a good idea but the way it looks buried the chains will just dig deeper. I had the bank drop off on me and called a wrecker and he came out and lifted me out of the ditch for 100 bucks. I been through that soft ground deal too many times. Air jack, boards and plywood and you have a hillbilly driveway. If you could go backwards I would suggest a chain through front drive wheels and tie off to a tree and put in gear and let wheels be a winch but going forward it will tear up all that skirt.
Ruthless Thanks this. -
Doesn't take much for a semi tractor to get stuck.My driveway is just wide enough for a trk and not any wider so there's no room for error.I've gotton my trk stuck a few times.But never so bad i needed a wrecker.My neighbor always came to my rescue with his 4 wheel drive..My yard gets really muddy after a rain or thaw.

I've gotten stuck a few times, once it was just a depression a single steer dropped into. No 4wd available, and it was on ice. Had to call a wrecker, just to get me INTO my driveway.
After that, I made arrangements with a local truck wash to park there on weekends. -
My old driveway had a little incline and bobtail I would spin on wet leaves.
Try putting some gravel or salt to dry the ground.joseph1853 Thanks this. -

For future parking, buy a few 4x4 timbers, cut one into two 4' chunks. Lay down a couple sheets of 3/4" treated plywood, and park so the drives are on full timbers, and put the steers up on the 4' chunks over plywood. Weight distribution will keep you from sinking.

Load of gravel for me cost $250.
With it still raining, doubt you get out without a pull.
Good luck. -
