Not really a trick.
I do the same thing a tire repair centre does - except I do it while the wheel is still on the truck.
It only works if you can find the nail or screw you ran over that is still embedded in the tire. Jack up that wheel, pull out the nail/screw, replace with a plug, inflate the tire, and let the wheel back down. You're good to go.
Depending on how good a job I did....I may or may not go further with the repair. If she's still holding air...I go on about my business.
This is what I use.....
