    This winter would actually not be so bad if the states and towns knew how to push the snow back. 90% of the streets in my town are barely wide enough for 1 car to get through never minded 2 and alot of roads that had 2 lanes or turn lanes are down to 1 and forget about the exit ramps, i'am gonna add a plow at my first axel to move the snow out of my way so i dont have to ram the trailer through it.

    I'll likely be driving some of the roads you're building before winter is out, so thanks in advance. You guys in the water trucks do a great job.

    Hate to tell you but it's been in the "teens" down here several times so far this winter.:biggrin_2557:

    I've worked at several jobs in the minus temps. Try cutting timber in 12 ft of snow at -40. Cut into a tree under tension at that temp and you gots you a "hand grenade". Or relacing hydraulic hoses on a feller buncher whilst laying on your back in a snowbank. :biggrin_25513:

    At least if I get killed in a truck I'll die warm.:biggrin_2559:

    then i guess it's safe to say, not too many of us are going to apply for the open casting call for 'Ice Road Trucker's" any time too soon...[​IMG]

    I wish Global warming was real. I wouldn't have to idle as much, and all coastal blue states would be under water. It'd be good for everybody :biggrin_25523:
