What happens here

The creator shifts focus to the crucial role of efficient plowing patterns in snow removal. He emphasizes that while operating equipment is essential, a truly great snow plowing operator distinguishes themselves by understanding and mastering the optimal pattern for each parking lot. He is shown training his current employees, Jake and Joey, highlighting how he's teaching them to move beyond basic operation to strategically "prep" areas for loaders and trucks, ensuring no snow is left behind unnecessarily and maximizing efficiency. He demonstrates how proper pattern execution minimizes damage and optimizes the overall clearing process, even in challenging conditions like freezing rain.

Goal: Learn about efficient snow plowing techniques and operator training.

[Music] [Applause] [Music] hey door monkey why don't you have a pusher on that tlb i heard like three of you say that right now and the reason is is we're solely using this machine at this point just to pile up all of the frozen chunks of ice and snow that we're scraping off from this lot we don't want to put any undue stressor damage on those arctics and that puck system so we just pop it off real quick and just use the bucket to scratch and scrape and push everything where it's got to go [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right zach tim and i are gonna head over to the next lot we're gonna leave the touch-up work for you uh he's leaving some of that over there for you to push up right right there too and then just take a spin through the parking lot and if we missed anything just address it before you head out we just want to make sure that we put a ribbon on this lot saying that it's pretty much done before we move on all right so you want me to go through clean off all the curbs and stuff if you see anything that needs to be touched up go for it yeah all right that'd be perfect just basically tree as a final clean up or treat it as a final cleanup yeah yep yep then we'll see you on the next lot cool beans uh you know it's not when coming to snow plowing it's not about running the equipment that you gotta know but what really sets a good operator apart is knowing the pattern and dialing that pattern in so that it's just boom boom boom that's the biggest key and if i can teach these guys like zach really get that pattern dialed in it turns a a good equipment operator into a fantastic snow plow operator because you take good skills you combine it with the knowledge of the pattern and you produce something completely different zach i'm kind of training him in to the next level right what do you mean well you know he he runs equipment yeah but understanding what to do with it understanding the the the pattern i want to dial that in so that we got just somebody that knows how to prep for the loaders to come in prep for the trucks to come in and then also move right into it and the dude picked up on it immediately nice like i was like all right so if you're going to prep this lot for a load or he's like yeah you drag out this corner and you drag out that corner and he's like but you wouldn't drag out the rest of this because the loader would be more efficient to get it and i'm like yep yep and then i said but if the if you're all done prepping he's like well then…
