They are great. I sometimes watch the live feed of the gritters' movements in our area. Yes. They have a live feed.

A yellow gritter or gritting lorry stopped on a quiet road with low stone wall and fields behind - and my wooden garden fence in foreground. The ground is very frosty and believe me the road is slippy. The gritter is named by public vote, as are most UK gritters. The name is printed on the side - "Grit'n Brrr It"
Well there's a beautiful sight indeed on a frosty morning... he even very carefully did the pavement for us 😃

s/s from link Thanks to social media, Transport Scotland's fleet of light-flashing, salt-spraying kings of the road have become a bit of a sensation. Followers have been glued to their screens following the roads authority's Gritter Tracker. They were surprised to find out the vehicles had humorous names like Sir Andy Flurry, Sir Salter Scott and Gritty Gritty Bang Bang. The force was with the people of Ayrshire during Tuesday's snow flurries, their roads were being protected by Luke Snowwalker. The Gritter Tracker has captured the imagination of Scots on social media Around Dunblane, Sir Andy Flurry was out on duty. Along with strong snow-slaying names like the Ice Destroyer, Snow Queen and Ice Buster, more unassuming gritters like Fred, Jack and Frosty have also been out and about keeping the country moving. Not forgetting Sprinkles, Sparkle and Ready Spready Go.
Scottish Gritters used to have regular names like Fred and Jack, with only a few punny ones but then the public got involved in 2018 and it's been a winter tradition since then
