    I talked to one local guy in town and sent him the pictures to see if his trucks are big enough but I can’t seem to get him on the phone; the guy from breakdown sent me a list of towing companies from cities like 50+ miles away and told me they don’t pay, might as well have sent me a bottle of lube for the ramming I’d receive!

    Put the wood the long way.
    The way you have it and if you get the tire up on it,it will fall off the other side and sink again.

    Then take all 4, run the strap through the holes on your drive tire, hook it to itself, then place the ratchet on top of the tire. Tighten that sucker down like a mother. Cut or tie off the tail, and plan on tossing the ratchet when you're done cause it'll be junk.

    With your situation, I'd get a jack and try and lift that r/f. It being down is taking all your ground pressure off of the drives, you need to get that back. Lift it and put a 4x4 under that steer to run on until your out.

    I would reverse out of that hole.

    Dig behind the steer tire as much as u can. Try to get some wood on the back side of the steer tire and u need more weight on the drives. Id throw all ur tarps and equipment on the front of the trailer to get as much weight as possible. If u dig behind the steer tire u should be able to rock it out... im not sure how that works with an auto tranny but do the best u could. If there is some sand or kitty litter or gravel anywhere near by that will help gain traction as well

    Another show I'll check out. These guys haul from around where I grew up. Probably recognize a few of them.

    @farmerjohn64 they're seriously gonna make you pay for a tug? What a chicken#### outfit. IMO that's the cost of doing business.

    You have tire chains by chance?

    I'd tell Them where the truck is and that would be it for them! No way in hell should you pay!

    You just kept him from harassing drug dealers during the holidays.
    All part of your civic duty.

    I’m not trying to be ugly but he took the truck home with him so he has some responsibility in having a place to park it. If not then he should have left it at a safe place. I hate to see him stuck but get out and walk to make sure the ground is firm before driving on it. I hope he gets it out without a tow bill.
