 Company Attitude
My employers have always told me to park it safely and wait for conditions to improve. Tri-State Motor Transit paid us during the first eight hours of delay for snow or ice, and they paid the motel bills. Key Line Freight would not release empty trailers to those drivers who wanted to drive home for the weekend when the roads were icy. Once again, they paid the motel bills.
Trucks have no control on ice. I have waited on the shoulder of the Interstate for salt to take effect. One time, I noticed a loss of traction on upgrades to viaducts. I had a single axle pulling a set of doubles. Another time, I blundered onto ice near a river. Finally, the salt truck arrived and backed over the bridge salting his own path. I waited for the salt truck to return and do the backward salting again. I followed the salt truck after turning my headlights off.
