...we are still in 2020, right? Maybe we'll have the storm in the likes we've never seen, to paraphrase a certain someone, and this will come in handy. I still have Alien Invasion by Christmas on my 2020 BINGO card.
I wondered the same thing, then I realized I looked at national weather forecast last night because my son is traveling east through Iowa today. Tracking us has never been so easy.
I hope you didn't apply this video to whatever she intended. >seatbelt on >continue making passes >use rumbling and mailboxes to know if you are still on the road. Make sure to spread the white stuff...
lmao I used to work with the guy that buckled up his lunchbox. That was 100% for show, normally it's left at the shop or thrown between seats/on the floor.
They forgot to mention manhole covers as objects. When the blade catches one you get woken up real quick lol. Ripped one out of the road one night plowing thought I hit a car.
Same with sewer grates, a hell of a bang when you hit one that you don't see cus it's covered in snow !! Happy and safe plowing! From Hamilton, Ontario Canada.
@@MrZwapp yeah just one of those things people don’t realize. Pretty much knew where all of the problems were in my area but can never be too careful. Literally tore a flange out of the road one day, had to hump the stupid thing back over to cover the giant hole in the road. Never fails when you get into a decent groove and auto pilot kicks in the inevitable BANG gets you lol.
@@South_0f_Heaven_ LOL I know exactly what you mean....out of no where a curb appears and kicks the wing up 4' . I took a mailbox off it's post in my 1st year lol .... felt bad but supervisor told me the city would just replace it !! Just finished a 14 hr shift new years night.
@@MrZwapp yeah nobody appreciates people who plow snow, every year the public seems to get nastier. Worker for family that did subcontracting for the local town, some days lucky the plow would lift back up. Always a adventure thou, personally I prefer from 10PM to about 4AM. Less people on the road to bother you just have to watch out for snowmobiles and atvs coming out of nowhere.
My boss used to mount the plow pumps under the seat. I’m driving a ten wheeler down a busy state road one night and the solenoid on the pump shorted out under the seat. Cab filled up with smoke instantly, I had my head out the window trying to see so I wouldn’t hit a car, making a right turn while my foot was under that seat trying to push the shorted plow pump away from the seat frame so the truck didn’t go up in flames. 2 gauge battery wire going into the solenoid, the insulation was completely gone. All of this happened in a matter of seconds lol. Used to have all sorts of fun with his trucks.
That's an awesome idea!! Could also be used as a learning tool..although doing it in real life if done correctly can be a great thing .one experience that sticks with me was 2am doing a med size lot it was so quit tou could hear thr flakes land . Then there was thunder an lightning ..amazing
I got my certificate through the sask heavy construction association, it was a few hours of videos and depending on prior scores the final question is was colour is snow.
I've never thought about it before, mainly because I'm from Georgia and snow is rare down here. But snowplow drivers are another under appreciated job I'm sure. So thanks you guys for keeping America moving during the winter.
To summarise, clear the road, push the snow off the road, not back on to it. Don’t go crazy fast, don’t kill anyway with the plough, use your indicators and strap your lunch in with a seat belt.
I really like part 8, I've been watching it every few days. The monotonous tone and non-stop talking make it really easy to fall asleep under 4 minutes. I haven't watched the other parts but makes me fell sorry for anyone that does.
This must be the 'HOW TO' for residents of southern states... I live in N.E. Wisconsin. We can argue about who gets worse snowstorms but, I think we can agree: that anybody that lives in our states; has moved plenty of snow, and INSTINCTIVELY knows how to move snow...
I grew up in Idaho. Unfortunately, snow removal isn't an instinctive thing. It is something that us "snowies" learned at a very young age, but it was learned, nevertheless.
I'm not sure why RU-vid has decided to recommend this to me. I have no snowplow, I live in an area where we get snow maybe a couple days out of the year. But I now have the knowledge.
This is interesting, but because lower saxony gets barely any snow, most of which isn't even deep/stays long enough to need plowing, I can't really use this info
