Towards the frame. If you lay directly under the filter and look up at the bottom of it, you should be turning it counter clockwise
OIL FILTER STUCK ON!!!

Then I am doing it right I was using the drive shaft as support for my arm as a leverage point yesterday pushing towards the drivers door and the front left of the truck.

The driver's side of the filter should turn towards the front of the truck. The oil pan side should turn to the rear of the truck.
in those pics, the wrench is clearly on upside down and will not loosen it. You can damn near crush a filter pulling on it the right way with a strong chain wrench. Your rotation direction needs to further tighten the chain.
If its still on the filter the same way as in the pics, flip it over, reinstall, and pull to frame.

2 days on an oil change??? This dude needs to be Jiffy Lube's best customer.
I've had sticky oil filters, but dayum!!!! Ripped a few in half with the screwdriver method...never spent 2 days on one.

I still contend that a strap wrench would have worked if you tried it first. a REAL strap wrench like this:
I worked on compressors in the oil field and they had HUGE oil filters on them. When they're on tight, a strap wrench is the ONLY thing that'll get them off. Punching them with a screwdriver will just shred the steel if they're on really tight.
SnapOn has an even sturdier one PN A91D, but I've never run across one that the square tube job that you can get at any auto parts store couldn't handle.

Had one on a C27 in a D10 that was so tight that the case of the filter started to slip on the crimp where it is crimped to the threaded part. Eventually took off the filter head, put it in a vise, cut the filter apart and used a chisel.

I've had that happen too. In had them pull the treaded insert out of the filter base too.
