salt trucks
Winter road vehicles
Salt trucks are vehicles that spread salt or sand on roads during winter weather to melt ice and improve traction.
They're a fixture of cold-climate infrastructure, often appearing before or during snowstorms: The salt trucks were out all night.
Also called gritters in British English.
