What its like to be a Snow plow operator -a Long cold day in the life of a snowfighter

What happens here

For commercial properties with limited space to push snow, managing snow relocation and stockpiling becomes essential. This involves utilizing backhoes (like the John Deere 310E) or other front-end loaders to efficiently gather large volumes of cleared snow. This snow is then loaded into large-capacity dump trucks. The trucks either haul the snow off-site for disposal or transport it to designated, temporary snow stockpiles within the property. The process of managing these snow piles is a significant logistical undertaking, as they can grow into massive mounds over the course of a winter season.

Goal: Efficiently move accumulated snow to designated collection points or off-site for disposal.

What they say

And now back to our regularly scheduled program. That's our neighbors. You can see they're using a big loader. And um same pusher blade that we're using on a TLB. 12 14T. That's really typical of what you're going to see for a midsize loader. That is the same thing that a TLB can handle. TLB stands for tractor loader backho. And the reason I prefer tractor loader backhos is for our company they're more versatile. It gives us the ability to go out, dig an addition, put a pusher blade on it, do snow removal in the winter time. It's more of a allse type of a machine for our specific needs. I mean, I've driven both, owned both, and I would [music] buy a TLB any day over a payloader for put using a 12 or a 14t snow pusher. We're not [music] We wouldn't put a 16footer on a TLB. Slippery snow. Slippery snow. Snow is slippery. Nothing worse than sliding into a curb. Okay. Actually, sliding into a car. Sliding into a car is worse than sliding into a curve. Or I had a guy hit a light pole. Yeah. Yep. One of the bad things about TLBs is that big boom arm on the back and an inexperienced operator hooked right onto one of those telephone poles. All right, so we plow this. It wasn't here. This was years ago. Oh, here's a question some of you guys had. [music] Why do all of your equipment have the IC sticker, Interstate Company's logo on it? Well, we actually sell all this out, which I actually prefer to do. I don't I don't have to worry about invoicing or collecting or being the go-to person. So, we plow all this, by the way. Um, I have one person that I deal with. He handles all of the different managers for all of these different accounts that we we're doing this tour on. Uh, he coordinates everything. He coordinates the salt. He coordinates the the the sidewalk crews. I coordinate the lot [music] clearing uh crew. So, I take that off his plate. I actually do the best I can to get as keep as much off from his plate as possible because uh Ryan, I've worked with him for years. He's a good friend of mine now. Uh he's a great guy. Interstate company. He's a great company. Absolutely love working for these guys. All the years I've worked for him. Probably one of probably the best company I've worked for. Actually, it is the best company. So, um they slapped their stickers on my equipment and you know what? I'm a it's a proud partner with as far as I'm concerned. Okay. So, we're back plowing. We plow all this. Plow all this in here. So, if you guys have a company that you…
