Very simple. If you have ice on your roof, simply drive thru NYC or Phili, and hit every pothole you can. Problem solved by the time you get to Jersey.

LOL..that is normal isn't it?....one wouldn't have to try too hard to hit one..it is harder to miss one I think...

If one can rig a plug in side the box.Heat tape The use it on waterlines on the outside of mobile homes.Line the top inside roof and your good.Can get it at any lowes.

when I was a teenager in maine my brothers and I would take a ladder and some extra wide homemade snow shovels and go to trailer parks and shovel the flat roofs off.Made a killing everytime we got more then 4in of snow.Seems to me a couple of guys with some shovels and pushbrooms could make some pretty good money at a truck stop.

Minnesota to the rescue :

Home | Big Rig Rake, a snow roof rake to remove snow from vehicles.

just make shore to ware protective gear .
OSHA approved traction boots, helmet with face shield, and your youth football shoulder pads.
me thinking it'll take about 25 scrips to clear a St. truck box.

Heck, I'm thinking a couple of heavy canvas paint tarps, with long ropes attached, thrown over the box BEFORE it snows. Bungee-cord it to the bottom of the box. Then when you're ready to go, pull off the tarps from a distance, bringing all the snow and ice with them. Granted, that would be a challenge for solos, but it's cheap.

A 15.5'x19' tarp for $60:
