hi my name is brandon i have a big problem.  i got my truck stuck real bad... i got it stuck on sunday the 31st and its still in the mud and water a week later.  none of the guys that i know with trucks are able to pull me out.  if anyone with a big truck preferably with 40's is in the pensacola florida area, and could lend a hand please let me know.  theres a bunch of dirtbags that came today telling me that if i didnt get it out soon that my truck was gonna be stripped and burnt.  and i believe them bc theres already one truck stuck in a hole that is burnt and destroyed.  if theres no one in the area then maybe just some ideas as to what i could possibly do to get the truck out would be a help too.  i have pictures of how its stuck on my profile.  all four tires are spinning and im hung up on the frame.  problem is theres no way to really jack it up bc i cant get to the underside without diggin for hours. and theres only pine small pine trees within a 200 foot radius around my truck, so i dont really have any substantial trees to get a winch too.  thanks

Or call a medium duty wrecker.  It'll be an expensive yank, but he'll get you out and it's a hell of a lot better than letting your truck sit out there and get vandalized.

I think alot of the off road recoveries start at around $200 per hour.  Depending on how far off of the pavement you are, some also charge per mile off road as well.  Your best bet would be to try and find anyone you know who might be a AAA club member.  That would probably cut the cost in half.  If you find a member, they must say they were in the truck when it got stuck.  They don't have to say they were driving, just a passenger.
