Across the street from where I work, a truck driver got a hard start to a day... and to the week. It seems he was turning around, and didn't pay attention to the steepness of the parking lot he pulled into.

STUCK
I heard a sort of squeely, grinding sound, and noticed the truck. The driver tried to get himself unstuck using some pallets he pulled out of his truck, but he wasn't going anywhere.

Tow truck
after an hour or so, a tow truck pulled up

Setting up the rig
The driver tested a bunch of ways to connect the cable to the trailer, and the cable to the truck

Pondering another try
after a few attempts, the driver and the tow truck driver pondered what to do.

Trying to pull
they re-rigged the cable, and gave it another go. After moving the trailer a bit, the towtruck driver tried to let the trailer truck pull itsself off... nothing doing

Success!
A few more tugs with the tow truck, and it was off... in all, it was a 3 hour distraction, but a rough day for the Coke Truck Driver, I'm sure.
