Big Wrecker with large boom. Wrecker stays in one place. Boom extends out as dump truck moves forward.
It's sad this happend but no one was hurt so far no equipment has been damaged. This is how we all learn.
Good luck

Back because we know the ground supported the truck the first time, Forward and it might damage culvert and or cave in and tip over. Kinda like being in a minefield ya know you were safe the way you came in you don't know if you are safe ahead of you though.;)Quote:

After considering that comment, I think I might at least try to get a tractor with a bucket on it and put that bucket down on the left rear of the truck or chain up to it to keep it where it is overnight.Quote:
