    trailer is YOUR responsibility 24/7 until the load is back into your company yard or at a clients dock and your dispatch said leave it there. NEVER leave a loaded trailer anywhere your not when your assigned to it. NEVER

    Call the company, and get them to issue you a express code if they use comdata. I don't know of any wreckers that wont take a comdata check.

    If he's on approved home time then his trailer is empty.

    On another note;

    Try engaging the drive axle differential.

    He's not going to get fired for getting a truck stuck in the mud. That's not even a accident. If that were true then not a single driver would have a job as we all got stuck somewhere.

    No one is giving the right advice except for gashauler and I so far. Go back and read the 2 post. We all make mistake's but some of us have to much pride to admit.

    I drove for Werner for 8 months and I have to count with my toes how many times I got stuck and had to call a wrecker. Most of them dollar general lots are not truck friendly. Don't get me started on how many times I had to call a wrecker to break into my truck after I locked myself out. :(
