I leave in a bit over an hour to help him out and loan him a car if there's
not a quick fix.

He did jack up one rear wheel to relieve pressure, no joy.

Any quick ideas?

Geez, if that thing is sitting on a hill with a loaded trailer and just
that parking pawl stopping it.....

Could be, but more likely he let it get on the pawl before setting the
brakes. Has he reversed the order, he wouldn't be in this pickle.
He's the one who has the diesel truck issue, too. I hope the rest of
his move is uneventful.
