Steep downgrades

Just go 45 throw on the 4 ways and Jakes and enjoy the view.

If it's slippery go slower. No need to overthink it.

Going up is what sucks.

 

It depends. I use them because I'm #### sure not stab braking a tanker on ice.

There is more than one way to do it. I'd say just keeping your speed low so you can correct any problems is the most important.

 

I'm surprised nobody mentioned that 'slick' condition are so various there isn't an easy answer....but one thing I know for a fact is that if slick...on a scale of 1 to 10...approaches 7...don't drive at all or chain up..period. Since my chaining skills are 1 on a scale of 1 to 100, I won't drive.

I can give real world examples where I was driving 5 miles an hour and my truck and trailer were sliding every time I hit the brakes. It can be very scary. On i40 outside Albuquerque going down hill, I thought my trailer was going to over take my truck more than once...and it was stop and go traffic.
