Default Axle nut fell off....

I've got a 4x4 2500 auto...I got new tires about two weeks ago, they sheered off a lug stud....so last weekend i spent my Saturday waiting to get the stud replaced...for free, but my time was spent....

Today I was walking around the truck and spotted the center of my axle looking a bit odd to me....i checked the other side and realized why it looked odd....the axel nut was missing

Am i going to be safe driving the truck to the shop about a mile down the road without my whole wheel assembly falling off?

I've got disc brakes in the front and i think the caliper holding the disc will atleast keep it straight and on provided i dont hit any really nasty bumps right?

Second issue, they better not charge me for that axle nut, do any of you think i'll have any problems???

Don't drive. Don't even think about going back. Just by moving the truck you're destorying the rotor and problably the caliper.
