Wrong. No state tax means youre on your own. For people that did pay state tax in other states then it's up to the govt to be proactive and to fix the problems. Also, in Dallas you pay tolls, so the state govt is somewhat responsible for helping out.

I swear The City of Dallas faces nationwide embarrassment every single time it snows here. If it isn’t the power grid, its the snow-related homelessness crisis, or the lack of tools needed to support roads and critical infrastructure during winter storms. There’s no reason truckers should be traveling south from states like Colorado and Oklahoma and getting stuck on roadways in Dallas; North Texas needs to do better!

I almost got stuck in that mess, but I went up the hill right in front of those trucks. Worked from 4 am to 950 and was sent home because of the weather. I saw them having trouble, but none had gotten stuck yet. That's a tricky hill in either direction in ice. I went westbound to work and eastbound home. I've lived in Dallas since I was born. I already knew to be careful because TxDot has never gotten it right fir winter weather. 😕

It’s illegal in TX to put chains on because you will need to put new asphalt or concrete after the winter is over. TX doesn’t want to spend from the budget to add salt 🧂 or deicer, I am certain they won’t like to replace the roadways. The chains will also mess up the tires. Cable tire chains are great for ice.

How much do you think it would cost to build the storage facilities, pre-purchase the salt, buy the equipment, pay drivers to salt the roads, and pay to have the roads swept a week after the temperature warms back up? Not only that but it is the state with the most miles of roads by almost double that of the state with the second highest miles of roads.

The weather you have had is NOTHING! It is called not having plows do anything. I have seen only 1 plow in all the videos I have watched. Hey Texas DOT do your job!!!

TXDoT sucks. they do a bad job of designing highways, and then they do an even worse job of maintaining them.

Kudos to the jeep people and shame on dot. As for the truckers, if it's that slippery either get off the road or chain up. But then again many are far weather drivers. I run New York to Washington state all year, so I'm prepared for such things.

All of those claiming that it is the fault of the state have no idea how hard it is to treat roads during ice storms. You can pretreat the roads, but that only lasts until cars and trucks start driving on the roads. And when there is a lot of traffic, many that shouldn’t be out, it only gets harder. Highway dept trucks can’t get through the traffic to apply more de-icing material and once the ice starts to build up, it is a lost cause. When it is this bad out, just stay off the roads less it is an emergency.

News Flash; just in. Texas big rig driver discovers that there is a device used by truck drivers in the northern states called tire chains. These tire chains are put on the drive tires and sometimes on one of the trailer tires to enable big rigs to drive slowly on ice and snow to get to dry pavement or to get off an icy road to parking. The Texas driver was amazed to learn that big rig drivers in the northern states carry these chains on their trucks for icy road situations. Who would have thought that these tire chains have been around for decades?
