Living in an area where we do not normally get below zero for long periods of time I do not have an answer for my loads freezing on the trucks. Any quick (cheap) answers for getting them thwed and keeping them that way. Thanks.

About all you can do is park it inside until it thaws.

#1 rule - Always dump your load. We harp at our guys at length to dump every night.
Get a torch. It may be just frozen at your valves.
We use these. -->

We watch our weather closely getting into November so we don't get caught with a big poopcicle in the morning.
Some of our trucks even have heated valves.

Other than always dumping the load, there's not many options. Try concrete blankets - had success excellerating a thaw with them once.
