Great compilation of your clips. One of my first paying jobs when I was much younger was riding in the back of a salt truck all night moving salt over the tubes to drop salt down on the duels which spread it pretty good ,, driver used to honk when we cam to an intersection and we would throw a few sweeping shovelfuls out the back., didn't have spreaders like they do now. Some of those nights were the coldest I have ever been.

Wow you have cured me from ever wanting to plow snow...You all are just the best...Good job...

We don't normally get weather like this in the UK but I love it. Thanks for sharing :-)

That Western Star sounds damn good! We had one down in Antigonish just to get fixed, but it was Sherbrooke's. Heard it go up street a couple times and it sounded wicked! Wish they still put Cat's in new ones and didn't have a bunch of emissions bull shit. Great video as always, hope to see more!

Jim, your plowing videos are probably the best recruiting tool I know of, when people ask me, "Hey Andy, what's it like driving a snow plow?"

Love the entry music, and glad we never had to buck those kind of drifts , there was only one area i had to take the grader to a couple times to punch through! Our trucks were 1968 Ford 478cu” gas short bed & an old International with a V they changed that out in 1972 for a International with a 479 gas we got 2-3 mpg , only plowed the county roads ! My longest day of plowing was 37.5 hrs

Quite a few years back we had a snow storm that shut down Anchorage Alaska. 38 inches on Saint Paddy‘s day! I was busier than a rat at a dump. The entire city was just about shut down. It will go down in history books as the snow of all snows. Continued work and safety for all of the road crews that are south of us! Happy holidays to all.

I drove a 2014 Pete tractor for 7yrs and a newer paystar tri-axle for 4yrs in upstate NY stressful enough with out a plow! I give you props brother

Great video, nobody can understand what it’s like to operate one of these monsters on icy roads until you’ve done it, I’ve got 25 years behind the wheel of one of these machines, it’s sad the public treats us like dirt, keep it between the ditches.

I've not had the opportunity to drive a truck mounted snow plow unit, but I have spent some time shinning the seat of a grader mounted plow, and the worst part of the job was the public. I'll leave it at that.

Hi and happy new year from Paris ! Thanks for sharing your first vid of this year. I remember the snow wall demolition vid ! And I also agree with Craig Arndt about the decorated truck :-)

Great video. Of all the jobs i had in my life i enjoyed snow removal the most. I was a truck driver heavy equipment operator for 30 years. Really enjoy you,r videos,wish we got that much snow here.

Greetings from Ottawa. Love your videos and the Pictou area. We spent a week at the lodge last summer.

That western star sure outperforms all the other trucks you’ve run

You have a lot of great footage, enjoyed watching the entire video. The decorated truck is nice to see, happy new year!

Hell yeah man....... Love that intro music.....just good ol' down home pickin.......love the vids

Thanks for the great videos Jim, from a fellow snowfighter!

Great videos Howie. You make it look like a lot of fun.

good stuff jim, as always, thanks mate

Great Video As Always! Happy New Year! Keep Up The Good Work Cheers Charlie!

Just wondering, does your company just leave that front loader running for each truck, and is the cold the reason and how it makes things harder to start?

I thought the plow trucks in Canada used blue warning lights?

Geesh! You gotta load your own salt? WTF is up with that? LOL! Kool video.

I see you're operating one of the Granites in this video. I'm jealous. Here in Washington State, our time with Freightliners may be coming to an end, as we are plagued with electrical issues, mostly connected to the 18 speed automatic transmissions.

Jim, very entertaining video. I see it said Nova Scotia, what part? Some of it looked like the Annapolis Valley and some didn't. I'm from the Valley born and bred. Hope to see more.

Great video, has it snow much there? We've had a lot of rain this winter here in Minnesota. ElNino I guess!!!!!!!!!!

I live in Nova Scotia too what part do you plow

Why are almost all highway snow plows are Western Star trucks ?

how many plows do you have up at your station??, and happy new year.

Great video ! Kyle

What highway garage do you work out of in NS?

Great video sir . Stay safe driver .

@13:46 man that’s moving some snow, must have been over a foot on the road

It must suck to have shift gears all night and how come no power angle front plow

I never knew you guys had to load your own salt. I thought an operator just camped there all night

new truck this year? and how much so far has fallen

Nice vid but why are they using manual shift trucks ? The allison automatics now days get better fuel miles per gal. and when a manual clutch fails your down no quick fix here + your right hand is free to work other other controls plow wing spreader and you don't lose momentum when plowing large snow packs.

better use the SNOW BRUSH PLOW TRUCKS behind each other snow plow truck on the road just sweeps off snow ice films and feeder salt where spot the ice on road SAVING the lots salts and snow plow truck plow BLADES don't need do over around there will spoiler the black top break hole spots. Once snow brush plow and salting JOBS! snow plow truck use for thick inches snow off the road....that all

Very nice but 3:48 got a little something on your windshield

I bet the locals in nova scotia love snow removal crews here in bc an the city where I live, they are either out too late, dont do a good enough job, or "sitting on their asses at timmies not working", even though they are probably on their coffee break

Why so much salt?

great videos and thanks,,,,,but its beyond me why people would choose to live there,,,fighting the weather day after day, year after year,,,sooo much wasted energy and expense,,,,,,im glad to live where there is no snow,,,ride my motorcycle most days and within 4 hours of the beach,,,but thanks for the effort in saving people who otherwise might die with no connection to cities and services,,,
