Ice Slicer's^® natural formula has a fascinating history and legacy of high performance. Let’s learn more about where Ice Slicer^® comes from and what makes it special. 

Samsara technology is changing the way operation managers track and maintain their fleet and keep their drivers safe. Although the industry remains greatly unchanged since its inception, new influxes of technological advances threaten the very consistent nature of the trucker's workflow. How do actual drivers feel about these changes on the road? Read below to hear another interview with a brand new driver who has already felt the impacts that Samsara tech has had on EnviroTech.

Although the industry remains greatly unchanged since its inception, new influxes of technological advances threaten the very consistent nature of the trucker's workflow. How do actual drivers feel about these changes on the road? Read below to hear an interview with a 10+ year veteran of the industry on how the changes have affected him and EnviroTech Services as a whole.

Winter storms take on a variety of different forms. Whether it’s ice storms, thick powder, slush, blinding blizzards, or a mix of conditions, our goal must be the same...clear roads fast. However, not all deicers are effective in all storm scenarios. Let’s talk about how to choose a road treatment product based on storm conditions.

Power Hop is a condition that occurs when weight + balance + pressure are not being evenly distributed across the drive wheels. When this condition occurs in larger 4WD or MFWD tractor(s), it causes a lot of frustration to farm operations including loss of time and fuel.

Winter road management practices should carefully balance the safety of both the public and
the environment. When ice and snow are not removed from road surfaces, the results are
catastrophic, even deadly for drivers. On the flip side, over-applying caustic treatments to keep roads clear can harm the environment. Let's learn how to responsibly satisfy both these needs.

Why does air pollution get worse during the winter time? You may remember from school scientific experiments, that cold air sinks and warm air rises. Cold air is more dense and moves more slowly than warm air. Sinking cold air can create an atmospheric cap over the earth’s surface, while warm air passes over the top. This cap prevents pollution from dissipating, and creates unhealthy conditions for anyone within it.

“Salt is salt” is a common misconception which has permeated the deicing industry for years. In reality, there are several chemical and physical properties that distinguish different salts from each other. Let’s learn about a specific type of deicer containing complex chlorides and why that matters for road safety, infrastructure, and the environment.

Every year millions of workers are exposed to one or more chemical in the workplace that poses a physical or health hazard, otherwise known as a hazardous chemical.
