How To Get Your Drive Tires 🛞 Unstuck From Mud Or Ice 🧊

🚛🌧️ Hey there, trucking fam! Pinkie Dabney here, bringing you another #KeepingIt100Trucking tip to keep you rolling smoothly on the road! Today, let's talk about how to get those drive tires on your 18-wheeler unstuck when you find yourself stuck in pesky mud or ice. 🌧️🧊

👉 The secret weapon? A big ol' piece of block or block wood! 👈

🌟 Here's a quick and upbeat step-by-step guide to get you back on track:

1️⃣ Assess the situation: Take a deep breath and evaluate the terrain. Is it muddy or icy? Knowing what you're dealing with will help you choose the right approach.

2️⃣ Find a sturdy block or block wood: Look around for a solid piece of wood or block that's large enough to provide ample traction for your drive tires. Remember, safety first, so make sure it's stable and won't slip.

3️⃣ Place the block strategically: Position the block in front of the drive tires that are stuck. Aim to create a ramp-like structure that will help your tires gain traction when you start moving.

4️⃣ Engage low gear: Shift your truck into low gear to maximize torque and power. This will give you the best chance of getting unstuck.

5️⃣ Gently accelerate: Slowly press the gas pedal while keeping a firm grip on the steering wheel. The goal is to let your tires climb up the block and regain traction. Patience is key here!

6️⃣ Steady as she goes: Once your tires are back on solid ground, maintain a steady speed to avoid getting stuck again. Keep your momentum going, but remember to drive cautiously and adapt to the road conditions.

🌈 And just like that, you've conquered the mud or ice and are back on your trucking adventure! 🌈
