What happens here

Begin the 'open-up' process by driving the pickup truck with its straight plow attachment through the main drive lanes of the parking lot. The primary goal is to create safe access paths for incoming and outgoing vehicles. This initial pass focuses on clearing enough snow to expose the underlying asphalt or concrete, especially crucial when ice is present. The plow should be set to effectively scrape the surface without causing damage. The video demonstrates this action, showing the truck plowing a path through the snow, pushing it to the sides.

Goal: Clear primary drive lanes to ensure safe vehicle access.

do a full push all right well we're gonna go do first we're gonna start the open ups with the pickup truck we'll do a little bit of a ride along today just kind of show you around what we're doing um while we're going through this what we've got is a two to three inch little baby storm here but we've got a pretty slick layer of ice underneath us yesterday we had a pretty nasty ice storm come through and about around midnight it laid down a sheet of uh well it started to rain which laid down a sheet of ice over our lots so we have um two things that we typically do we'll do an open up which is prior to doing a full push and that means one or two or three guys or however many we think we need depending on how severe the storm is comes out early and they just start doing drive lanes so we're not cleaning everything we're not here to clean everything we're here to make it safe for the cars that are in front of us right now to be able to get out and so it's just kind of a kind of a nice fun pre-work uh thing to do it's very low-key you just come in and drive around and um with your blade down and you gotta it's not completely random by
