Wtf are you doing on an icy hill with an empty trailer in the first place (smartphone told you weather ahead of time).\n2. Engine brake  has 3 settings for a reason (believe it or not, it's not to sing the song of our people in 3 different tempo's), use setting 1 or 2 depending on hill grade.\n3. There's always the option of \"riding it out\"\n4. There's always the option of a controlled wreck. (contrary to popular belief, this is not only do-able, it's been done many a time by them really old school drivers)\n5. Trailer brake, (correct name is \"trolley brake\"), is the wrong way to go... Reason being... If said rookie has no experience with it, chances are it will go something like this...\n      Rookie pulls on trolley brake, inexperience causes him to pull to hard, looks in mirror just as the locked trailer brakes cause the trailer to begin a jack knife. Said rookie releases trolley brake (again, inexperience kicks in) and instead of \"pausing\" for a moment to allow trailer to unlock, which would more than likely cause it to return to its correct position behind the tractor, rookie instead, with white knuckled grip on steering wheel, slams the brake pedal to the floor, which in turn causes an un-epic crash that no one notices, because everyone with half a brain saw the weather and parked their truck.\n\nGramma nazis need not respond.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Not sure how you came up with \"black ice\" or icy patch\". \nQuestion was about icy highway. \nIcy highways usually have icy hills. \nEven the Great Plains have hills, which have highways thru them, which get icy.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"rule of thumb ice or wind and light weight are a terrible combo I'd say trip plan and know before you go with a weather app but if you want to test your grit just go easy on the wheel keep the rpms low and if you start to lose control steer the truck in the direction you want to go forget the brakes in a situation where you lose control on ice your only friend is that following distance and waiting to re gain traction","replyToPid":0}
