When you let a Snowplowing Noob in the seat of the Truck

What happens here

Prior to the snow plowing season, it is highly recommended to mark all potential obstructions in the parking lot. Use orange flags to clearly identify curbs, islands, manholes, sprinkler heads, or any other features that might be hidden under snow. This is especially important for the first big snowfall of the season, as deep snow can completely obscure these obstacles. Marking helps prevent costly damage to the plow, the vehicle, and the property. When plowing, be aware of manholes, as they can cause significant damage if hit at speed.

Goal: Prevent damage to equipment and property by clearly marking all obstructions.

What's going to happen after the 10th or 15th snowfall and we've got 68 plus inches of snow hitting. That's going to push its way out. Even pushing its way out, it's going to block our drainage pattern. Instead of piling it right there, just start to push the truck up and get it try to start piling it up there. That way, this area just stays completely clear. So now what he's doing clearing a spot so that as he's doing this straight line push he can literally back the truck up and when he stops he can stop on cleared snow. Okay. So what you're seeing is what he cleared out now gives him room to back up put his plow down and catch the snow in this. All right. You see that snow right there? Those are rivlet. So you can't let any of that go. You shouldn't have any rivets. If you feel like you're losing
