Great Job Guys Nicely Done 👍🏽❄️On The East Coast Today Thursday We Are Gething Some Rain And For Friday Some Slick Road The Temp Will Be Dropping Again. Good Luck To You Have A Great Weekend
Lived in the Stearns Hill apartments back in the 90’s. Out in Grafton now. We got about 18 inches. You all did a great job clearing the roads. We nurses thank you!!
If you want to stay up at night plowing snow? Chocolate covered coffee beans. They served me well between 3-4am. Another thing after many, many years of plowing snow, the smaller the flake the more snow you get.
Fun to watch so thanks! First started plowing 50+ driveways in Lexington during the blizzard of '78 (Don Kent predicted 3-4" at 9:30AM); still miss it as I live in Atlanta.
I remember the blizzard of 78 very well. We were snowed in for 4 days. Our son was born 9 months later. Then there was the blizzard of 82. Our daughter was born during it. Now everyone but us are getting blizzards. Give back our winter!!! lolol
Marcia Marcia Marcia! Pretty sure I was watching the Brady Bunch during the Blizzard of 78! It's nice that you have such great memories from those big storms! I agree, we really haven't had a real Boston winter since 2015.
I’m on the south shore. We got 30 inches. Love the variety in the lunch box and you guys working together to make repairs. Great video. Thanks for what you do. I know it’s not easy.
Awesome post! Up here in eastern Ontario Canada, we've been dealing with the first legitimate January winter in 3 years. We've had some decent snow falls but "NOTHING" like what that nor-easter dumped on you. But we've got temperatures in the minus 30s.....so we've got you beat there. Our trucks don't like being woken up when it's that cold. That's when you find out how good your hydraulic seals are......
Mike, the Mack, all of your fellow plow and clean-up folks and special equipment are incredibly durable. 21 hours, shovel and then do it again so we can be safe. THANK YOU for your skills and dedication. You are all unsung heroes.
30 year plus driver here no respect after I go gown the road and they dump their driveway on my fresh plowed toad hey I wn t he o after I plow the roads so fire police ect CA get we the hveto go.
I remember those days all too well! We had some big snow when I was growing up in NJ. Ran a 922 Cat and HOUGH pay loader. Plowed with tandem dump trucks as well. Slept many a night in all of them. Thanks for taking me back. Ohh by the way not only did I lean out of the window too see the curb, I was trying to stay awake! Lol
Watching this video was trip down memory lane. Raised in Waltham, I plowed snow for Cochran Construction back in the late 60s before I joined the Air Force.
first time i see one of your videos. GREAT VIDEO..:) great filming with all the filming view points. continue doing great work plowing...lol and yes, it gave me YOUR point of view while plowing with a big truck...really cool..:)
Great video i love plowing i am a 22 year plow driver in central Mn and love my job i hope we get at least 1 good storm like the before i retire it just dosnt snow like this in Mn i run a 2021 westernstar tandem with a plow a wing and belly blade sander and brine system i have all the toys just not enough snow to play with have a great day be safe.
Who doesn't love a Trojan 😂 especially with a screamer 😂 love watching old iron work glad to hear that you didn't get as much as they was thinking great video as always mike keep up the good work stay safe and warm out there mike
I know people give the snowplow drivers crap for tearing up the roads and contributing to their cars rusting into nothing, but the alternative is only people with 4x4 offroaders being able to get anywhere. I always give them the thumbs up when I see them
Good video. How can a trucker drive 23 hours straight? Is there some type of legal exemption for plowing? Or is it understood that if a truck has a plow mounted the cops wont be checking log books?
Slick ol truck nice plow set up i have a sbowplow business I carry all kinds of snacks and goodies to I also keep a good chain in case i get hung up or in a emergency situation I need to yank somebody out or a situation I had to yank the door open to get the people out of a wreck with no help around in the freezing temperature
I was in Boston January 78 after that snow fell. Driving on packed snow that became ice about 6 " thick. If you found a pothole , you didn't move. Watched army APC drive across fields while traffic backed up unable to move.
Mr Nice Guy --that beats ya up for sure --i know u know what "snow blind" is whn its like that !! Nice job --as long as i ddnt get wet I was ok --but wet & cold = miserable (for me) nice job !!
WOW, WOW, WOW 😂😂 I didn’t think you would have crawled out the snow banks until at least Tuesday or Wednesday 🤣🤣 great job Mike 👍👍 Stay safe out there ✊✊ I have to remember Pizza, popcorn and a pissa jug 😂👍👍 oh yea , I heard that durn a white out if you shut your eyes it helps to see better ✌️
The storm was not what they had predicted. I'm in the western part of Massachusetts along the Connecticut River and when it was over for us we ended up with a strong 3" . Except for the blowing it doesn't look like your day wasn't what you were expecting. The 78 blizzard was certainly a snow storm and very memorable.
we had a wicked blizzard up here in SW Saskatchewan on Monday, whiteouts everywhere, 1st time I've had to stay away from home since I started running garbage truck
I've been out of Mass for 17 yrs but I immediately recognized 1030 as being WBZ. My mother always had that on in the background. We used to be glued to WBZ snow days in the 70s in hopes of school cancellations. Dave Maynard in the Morning. I was born Oct '69 so I "survived" the Blizzard of '78 and I know these weather people in New England have been lusting over forecasting the next '78. They all want to have their hat blow off live on TV like the newscaster back in '78 did. None have had the power of '78 since. Although I remember one being close in '94. I can't comment on winter 2015 because I was already gone 10 yrs by then. Thanks for the memories. Now I need to text back home and see how much they got up on the North Shore.
The residents are so much nicer to you guys than to us municipal plows. LOL We get the 1 finger wave and shovels thrown at our trucks. LOL I miss plowing snow, but not in those blizzards.
We got about 10" in my area out of that storm. Went out just after 10pm, got home around 5:30am, then jumped in the tractor for a couple hours to snowblow the driveways on my road. I miss the action of my commercial account in Portland, but I don't miss the 24 hours to do one complete round and cleanup of my route
Do they contract out some towns/streets up there or is it developments you're plowing? Not used to seeing private trucks that size plowing side roads but private developments have sprawled the last 10 years too.
Great video Boston Trucker or aka Mr. Snow plow, LOL. I feel for you my friend, been doing the same thing last week, feels like there is no end in site, but we keep going. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming and always travel safely catch you on the next one.
Love the videos. Here on Long Island we got 2 feet snowed Friday night and all day Saturday till 6 pm. Just got finished plowing everyone out today on Monday. We got hammered.
One good think about plowing parking lots,especially on weekends. We called it a night a 8 pm after the heavy snow fell in Woburn. And picked it up again at 6 on Sunday. The only place that was opening Sunday was the cinemas in Woburn. I think I played mechanic more that plowing this storm. 2 flats,and a rear brake rotor broke.
Just realized you're plowing in Waltham, ha! Close to where I grew up, I'm downtown Boston now. We should get together and film some car and truck content!
First time viewer here.... are you a private company that is contracted by your local city to plow the roads? That seems weird to me. It might be normal in your area but around here it's only municipality owned vehicles that plow city streets. Great video! I will be watching more. Thanks
Thanks for watching! In Massachusetts it is very common for cities and the state to hire contractors as well as municipal trucks for plowing and salting.
So do you guys have a contract with the city to do the majority of their snow removal? Also how do you guys keep your trucks so clean? When I drive my truck here in Montana in the winter it gets so much crap on it and it eats the paint and makes the chrome look like crap!
Yes we have a contract to salt and plow but not snow removal. We remove snow from our own job sites and we have a couple private accounts. In a very heavy snowy year, we'll get hired to remove for the City.
Yeah you guys get it both ways first you have to plow the snow then you have to haul the snow away. Are you allowed to dump the snow in the river or do you have to dispose of it in a parking lot and let it go down a drain because of all the salt content?
Hey Mike, thanks for showing your food chest in case of a long day. However, saw an ICOM microphone and couldn’t make out the attached radio head. Are you using ham radio? Or is it a business band radio?
You can tell by your Suppliers just in case. Here in Michigan I did Snow Removal as a Owner for 34 years, where every snowfall is normally 10” to a foot or more. I retired out of it two years ago. I just got so tired of being up all kinds of erratic Hours. I also was a Firefighter for 23 years I retired from that In 2013 to spent more time with my Grand Children. Our Construction end of the Business my son took it completely over two years ago. It looks like in the area the Cities and Counties contract with Independent Contractors where here in Michigan the Local,County and State do all Road Snow Removal, it’s actually a Against the Law to even Drop Your Plow Blade on a Public Roadway. We get a Ton of Lake Effect Snows here. The Stop signs are actually 10 foot High because the snow gets so deep you wouldn’t be able to see them, the same as Fire Hydrants have tall poles showing where they are so the local Municipality’s can clear them for access.
