Ride along SNOWPLOWING in the Loader

What happens here

The decision not to use salt on this particular lot, combined with proactive plowing of public access roads, directly influences pre-operation checks. Operators must understand the client's salt policy (or lack thereof) to avoid unnecessary material usage and potential environmental impact. For areas without salt, pre-operation checks become even more critical for ensuring maximum snow removal efficiency and traction (e.g., confirming tire chains are available if needed, or that grooved tires are in good condition). Proactive plowing of specific routes requires pre-planning and ensures operators are aware of boundaries and snow stacking areas before beginning work. This strategic approach minimizes double-handling of snow and improves overall site safety and flow.

Goal: The operator details the proactive plowing strategy for a public road section to prevent snow accumulation from city plows and explains the absence of salt use on the site.

so let's just spin around and take a look at how well she cleared now for the first snowfall of the year we're not going to get quite as good of clearing scraping right down to the pavement as we would if we've already maintained the account because there's zero salt on this lot 30 years roughly 30 years somewhere and then i do it so i don't keep track i haven't even hardly missed that many snowplow events the only time i missed it work has come is but i had to go cover a tool or something for you guys it's the only ones i've missed in fact three days ago we weren't supposed to get snow and then all of a sudden we got a little little blip of radar on the radar screen and i was 100 miles up north and shane for lodge snow hadn't even come down it just looked like it could i packed everything up i laughed i got back before the snow hit
