    Yes tires suck
    I did get the chains around but the minute I try to set in gear tires just spin and chains fly out. I can’t even drive one inch.

    I only do a little. I don’t flood the gas pedal.
    But no it stays put.
    Also, I’m not sure why but since this parking lot is not leveled neutral or reverse have no effect.
    This never happened to me before.

    Brakes released ? U might have a frozen brake on one of the axles .

    If you can't find some dirt or salt to throw under the tires you're gonna have to get iron around the tires. Can you throw chains over top and connect them at the bottom? Doesn't matter if they're loose. You only need to move forward a foot or 2. Then tighten them up and get to good ground.

    You know what?
    Now that you mention it
    At one point the truck tried to roll but something stopped it and bounced back. I might have a frozen axle brake.

    Trailer brakes are probably frozen. Need to crawl under and look for ice on the inside drums at the bottom. Might see ice acting as a block. Beat the ice chunks with a hammer. Melting with a propane torch works best.
