Even with new tires on, I notice that some of my trucks, (Basically all but the dump truck) tend to spin out on my track. Is there anything I could do to get more traction, IE, clean with degreaser, or adjustments I can make to the other trucks that are affected more?

When you say new tires, did you buy these- https://tycous1trucking.com/us1-trucking-replacement-tires/
If you use those tires, the wheels will not spin unless your pickup shoes are bent out too far.
 
I read all your advice both here and on FB and made some adjustments to the pickup shoes. Even just removing them and readjusting them made such a difference. I will be posting a video and pictures of my set once I make a couple of minor adjustments to make everything run smoothly.
