I have climbed many radio towers in my younger years but I have never wanted to or have driven a tractor trailer on ice.
 
That might be really close to shore. The wave of water under the ice, ahead of the vehicle gets critical as it climbs up toward shore. That's why they are supposed to slow way down as they approach the shore. And, the ice always melts away from shore first.
 
I'd rather drive the fuel tanker than any of the rest of them. The fuel tanker will sort of float. The rest just sink to the bottom. Pretty cold to swim out of it.
 
Fortunately we didn't have to break ice to get semi out of the lake that was 60 feet deep. Air temps was 18 and water was right at freezing. Truck slid off an ice covered bridge and crashed in the lake. We couldn't find the driver. Almost zero visibility. They brought in a Cat dozer with a winch which I had them float the 1 inch cable to me by boat. Dozer pulled 40 foot van box in two. Lucky for us the trailer tandems flipped just off the rip rap and didn't go any further.
