Oh, no! Back to square one.
Guess it's not funny...from the tow truck owners viewpoint anyway...but I couldn't help laugh!

looks like an easy fix, crank up the 18 wheeler pull forward until tow truck is upright?

The supports were extended in the rear. You can see them if you look very closely. I have no idea why it rolled, since without air pressure the air brakes should be completely locked. That's a bizarre one.

If there was enough air left in the system, the truck would still roll.

Jeez! You would have thought that they checked the most basic, simplest item first: Make sure the dash-mounted air brake pop-off valve was pulled out.

Ouch!
