Hey y'all, I'm a new trucker and I just got my CDL last month. I'm looking for some advice on how to handle extreme weather conditions on the road. I read this article https://newjobs4you.com/blogs/trucking-tips/safe-trucking-in-extreme-weather/ It gave some tips on safe trucking in snow, rain, fog, wind, etc. but I want to hear from some experienced drivers who have been there and done that.

What are some of the best practices for driving in bad weather? How do you deal with slippery roads, poor visibility, high winds, and other hazards? How do you plan your routes and manage your time when the weather is unpredictable? How do you keep your cool when things get hairy?
I appreciate any feedback you can give me. I don't want to end up like one of those trucks on the news or worse. Thanks in advance!
