Today's Lateral Thinking question:

Mack White was driving his tractor- trailer under and overpass when suddenly he came to a screeching halt. Mack wasn't paying enough attention and inadvertently drove under the overpass that was just barely as high as his rig. The trailer was wedged so tight that he could not go forward or backward. Luckily for Mack, Professor Quantum came by and told him how he could easily get the tractor trailer out from under the bridge. What did professor quantum suggest?
