Jerry that looks like a Mickey Mouse plow to me.. I mean that's just a pick up right? Is that an independent or municipal plow?
Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

I have all the paper work filled out to go get my CDL A license. I have pushed it off due to the fact that I don't want to be stuck in a plow truck. Owners get silly making everyone drive those damn things. I prefer not to!

But thats only like a couple inches of **** ??
It`s a private owned plow, a one ton dually 4 wheel drive Ford diesel. New operator on it tonight, company is all out of operators....LOL

Off to de-water the dog and then to the bed. Early morning training meeting on how to run a stop and go paddle in traffic. Yep.. two hour required training class to do that.
Just slippery Ron, couple of inches of ice stuck to the road surface and a couple of inches of new snow just fell on top of that. You have to be careful how the plow blade is angled when plowing over that type of ****.....

Hope he's a quick learner!
Take it all in, you will need it to climb the ladder...LOL
Think he will be in ****, that company don`t look kindly at operators that can`t handle the gear. I have seen them fire a guy for breaking a tailight!!

I wouldn't be going out in this unless I had a tandum axle dump truck hahaha. But im no operator either. I just pull the trucks in and out of the bays
Stall that off as long as you can, did I ever mention I hate snowplowing for 12 hrs at a shift!!

I have plowed in every kind of storm, spent 27 hours straight out on White Wan running a 621C with a 14' blade.

It definitely takes a certain person to plow snow Jerry. I see all kinds of snow plow operators at my work. You can tell the ones that love it and hate it. I like fixing the plows and that's where I stand LOL

I was installing sleeves today...using the old post diggers. Crew was dragging but they showed up and were real surprised I had over half the job done. They sure hustled and were apologetic....surprised again but I've told them more than once....I won't ask them to do anything I can't or won't do myself.

Last snow storm I worked 34 straight changing cutting edges and servicing motor graders. Don't care to repeat that again any time soon.

Time.
I plowed for 30 plus years and never grew to like it, in all that time I never damaged a truck or machine and only got stuck once around 2 o`clock in the morning during a whiteout, another operator came along and tugged me out, only the right front wheel just slipped off the shoulder. I have not plowed in about 5 winters now and really don`t want to go back and do it any more.
Nn Jimmy.
