Winter weather poses significant risks for truck drivers, including reduced traction, visibility challenges, and potential delays. Black ice is especially hazardous, as it is nearly invisible and often forms on bridges, shaded areas, and during early mornings or evenings. Drivers must remain vigilant for signs of freezing conditions, such as fading tire spray or ice accumulation on mirrors. These conditions can lead to accidents if not addressed promptly. Planning for delays and shorter daylight hours is crucial to avoid fatigue and ensure safety during long trips. (Source: CRST, Source time: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 20:11:36 GMT)
