Well I was taking a load of fuel over to Prairie View to our cardtrol today. As I pulled up to unload I felt the truck sinking and I spun out. I got out and looked around and thought I will be able to drive right out after I get unloaded. I had 5000 gallons of diesel on so I was pretty heavy. So I pumped the load into the tanks, 3000 of ruby fieldmaster and 2000 of roadmaster. I got unhooked and gave it a whirl. Even with the full lockup rear end I could not get out. It turns out that Rural Telephone had dug a hole to bore under the railroad tracks. The hole conveniently was right where my drivers set while I unload at the tanks. After the rain we had Yesterday I sunk in pretty well. I could rock it back and forth a couple of feet but I couldn't climb out of the hole. I was getting ready to call someone when luckily one of our elevator guys came driving up. He had came over to spray weeds. I said see if you have a chain in that pickup and bring it over. I wasn't too stuck because I got pulled out by a 2 wheel drive dually. 
I told him tighten the chain and when you see me start spinning give it hell. His tires were smoking and mine were throwing mud and out I came. I took some pics with my phone while I was unloading. It doesn't really look that bad but I couldn't move even with 8 tires digging.
That was the first time I got the KW stuck. That was my adventure today, Questions and comments welcome.
