Recovery Planning

Getting A Stuck Vehicle Out Without Making It Worse

01

Stop spinning the tires

When a vehicle sinks into mud, snow, or a soft shoulder, repeated throttle usually digs the tires deeper and can overheat the transmission. Once it is clear the vehicle is not coming out on its own, turn it off, stay clear of traffic, and call. Our car in a ditch guide covers what to do while you wait.

02

What dispatch needs to plan a pull

A recovery is planned around the vehicle position and the ground around it. A car that slid off a paved shoulder is a different job from a truck buried to the axles on a ranch road. Seasonal conditions matter too: see snow recovery and mud recovery for what tends to complicate those calls.

  • Is the vehicle upright, tilted, or on its side?
  • Surface: snow, mud, sand, grass, or a drop-off from pavement
  • Distance from solid road where a truck can safely stand
  • Any gates, fences, or private-road access the truck must pass
03

Winching versus off-road recovery

A controlled winch pull can recover a vehicle from a ditch, slope, soft shoulder, or other difficult position. Dispatch reviews the terrain, vehicle position and access before pulling, including recovery coordination on roadside and private property. When the vehicle is well beyond the pavement, on rough trails, or on property with difficult access, off-road recovery describes how that situation is assessed. Whether a specific recovery can be done is confirmed by dispatch once the location and terrain are known. If the vehicle is damaged once it is out, accident recovery covers the next step.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I keep trying to drive out?

Usually no. Spinning the tires tends to dig the vehicle deeper and can damage the transmission. Turn it off once it is clear it will not come out on its own.

What information helps plan the recovery?

Whether the vehicle is upright, what surface it is on, how far it is from solid ground where a truck can stand, and any gates or private-road access. Photos sent by text can help.

Can every stuck vehicle be recovered?

Each recovery depends on terrain, access, and vehicle position. Dispatch confirms whether a specific recovery can be attempted once those details are known.

What if the vehicle is damaged after it comes out?

If it cannot be driven safely after recovery, it can be transported by flatbed. Tell dispatch where you would like it to go.
