Typically, the tow driver will give you a ride to the nearest town (on the way) or at the very least hail you a cab.

Regarding a spare tire: leatherz.com usually carries them. I understand they're out of stock at the moment.

So say I am driving alone (and am too far from home to easily have a friend come and pick me up) and this happens, logistically, how would I get into town? Does the truck driver give you a ride? I know this may seem like a dumb question but this has never been a problem before.
