    *Go Slower
    *Increase Spacing
    *Relax
    *If you don't feel comfortable Stop at next available place and take a breather
    *If you notice you have a Death Grip on the Steering Wheel your over Stressing yourself pull over when able and take a break
    *If your going Down a Grade DO NOT USE your engine Break keep your speed depending on the grade around 10mph
    using your engine break will cause your truck to slow unevenly because only the truck is slowing the trailer is pushing and that could cause the trailer to break traction and jackknife, if you see that happening let off the brakes and press the gas slightly to pull the trailer back behind you

    we did a whole thread on winter driving last year i will try and link it

    ::EDIT:: o yeah by the way only 2 more months of summer and come September 15 its time to get into winter mode

    I stop for no weather, except 18' high snow drifts in Colorado.
