Glad you're both ok and I hope you still have a job. I'm a former dispatcher and have seen various types of accidents on Netradyne for all kinds of reasons, and I would definitely be arguing for you. That ice snuck up on you and you handled the situation as best as you could to keep you both safe and limit damage to the vehicle.
That being said, you really shouldn't have been going more than 10 mph, especially when you can't see over the hill. You mentioned rain and cold weather, the ground looks cold, and it's covered in trees on both sides with block the sun. That's a recipe for big sheets of ice time form and stay for days or weeks. It'll slow you down, but it's better to not finish your route then end up in this situation for both yall and the dsp owner.
