Third would be that the fuel system is air locked.
If the brakes will release, try to pull start it. The extra RPM's might convince her to fire up.
Edit; I just googled a photo of a Sterling Acterra and this has to be a joke or trolling thread. They are a Medium Duty Truck that would get stuck if someone threw an ice cream cone in front of it. No way it's going through the 'skeg.
