Paper analyzes results of drive traction tests using 4×2, 4×4, and 6×4-type truck tractors on skid pad; traction tests using automobile and friction trailer were also carried out on same skid pad and results are compared; methods for predicting truck drive traction performance in terms of traction limited grades are presented together with results of hill climbing tests on steep snow covered mountain grade using triple combinations of 27-ft trailers with 4×2 and 4×4 truck tractors; traction limited grades are computed for typical intercity truck combinations.
