Help I got my truck stuck at the Gas Station

[Alizona]

Its up in Nevada, some little tiny hick town with a tight squeeze into the pumps. I can't go forward because my trailer got stuck on the signpost, and I can't go backwards because my cab got stuck on the posts guarding the gas pumps.

So I quit that game because I can't do anything. What do I do now? Pull a Trevor and blow up the gas station, right? LOL

I'm not kidding, I really did get my truck stuck! I guess this game is realistic, because if I ever tried to drive one of these "big rigs" in real life this is EXACTLY what would happen to me. What a freakin nightmare, but I'm also roaring with laughter at my own ineptitude. What a dimwit I am.

I need a solution that doesn't involve Trevor, I was just kidding about blowing things up. Did I just ruin my whole game? Well I sure ruined it for the time being anyways. I guess I'll go play something else while I wait for replies/solutions to this mess I've made.

You can use F7 and call for a tow to the nearest Repair Shop or use Quick Travel to go to one of your Garages.

Edit: F7 will keep your trailer and just put you a little out of the way. Not sure about Quick Travel, may not be available when you're on a delivery...

Edit: Thanks for your Ninja-edit, I understand now.

What about the load of stuff I'm delivering? Do I get a big "FAIL" if I use Quick Travel? Do I get demerits for F'ing up? I guess at this point I don't have any choice, unless I fire the game back up and discover my truck can move again.

I recomend to use F7, you will keep your load and will be able to finish the delivery.

Just let a professional tow truck driver do his job and he'll take you to the next garage (F7)

You'll learn how to drive that 18-Wheeler!
Always check your mirrors like a bobblehead and try to plan your approach -> Things like that won't happen. You'll get that ***-ometer

The same thing happened to me delivering at a Coastline mining reciever. My long W900 couldn't quite make the turn at the scale and the trailer got hung over the side of the scale. Since I was delivering there I just hit the quit parking thing which solved it for me. But yes the service call will fix it for u.

Remember you can always unhitch your trailer, manoever your truck to a better angle and then reverse in and hitch up again. F7 (calling for assistance) is a neat feature but it shouldn't be your first option.

You can't use quick travel while on a job. I've tried and the game complains about you have to complete your current job in order to use the telepo ... ehh, quick travel.


I just unhitch my trailer in the middle of the road to piss off the AI, then I just pull into a gas station, filling up the gas tank and sleep.

The game is lax regarding what you can do with your trailer. You can drop it anywhere. A big white pointer tells you where you can find it again.

Especially if you use mods but even in vanilla, you'll eventually find a combination of terrain plus driver ineptitude that results in you needing a tow. F7

After that, it's up to you to set how serious you want to role-play being a truck driver in the game.

use F7, those pumps are EASY to get into though. While yes they are a struggle once you first start once you get the hang of it they become very easy to get into.

Key to those pumps are very wide turns, I can turn 180 degrees and still get in those pumps even with the longest trailer in the game.

I think they did, though. Two of their latest blog entries show that, at least a bit...
