As an long haul trucker, I always try to pre plan my routes, but when Mother Nature has her own plans, it’s very difficult if not impossible to do that. I been on the roads for 18 years now and I’m still learning how to deal with these extreme weather. Last year I was stuck and had to shutdown on I-10 near Junction Texas. I was there for two days, a year before that I had to shutdown I-30 Texarkana. All because of black ice and freezing rain. I’ve driven all over Canada all the way up Alaska but Texas seems to always get this black ice freezing rain every single year. I prefer driving on snowy roads then black ice, and I’m from California.
Living in Chicago, we get this kind of thing on a regular basis; however, we have the city and IDOT ready with insane amounts of salt. Having said that, and given the scope of roadways, it is impossible for them to get everything before the ice sets in. Just stay home. Always have a least a few days of food, meds, and other essential items so you don't have to be on the roads. If you absolutely have to be out there, first, go slow and if you hit some ice, do not tap the brakes that's a sure way to completely lose it.

In typical fashion. Whenever a winter storm hits, Texas just shuts down its roads and waits for a warmup. “We’re closed y’all!”

Trucker here. Those companies that force you to drive don't care about you.
No job is worth destroying your family.

Where is this?
We got pounded again overnight in N AZ. I 40 closed. Maybe 8 inches of snow. What a wet, cold, snowy and muddy winter. Ready for some 🌞
Take care people ok
0830 in Allen and we just had a pretty heavy round of sleet. Enough to make the roads very slick.
Where is the sodium
If I was still trucking I think I would carry a least four single tire chains. At least you could get out of a lot of bad situation.
