Ride along with J-Dub and I as we salt the heck out of these properties before the ice storm hits.

I used to plow at Lambert and Boeing. Boeing is zero tolerance. We would have salt trucks on site non-stop for weeks at a time if it was below freezing. Also, I've been in the ready mix business for 17 years, and I've less than a handfull of contractors treat their guys the way you do. Most of them talk down and yell and scream all the time. They also treat drivers like second class citizens, so its refreshing to see you interact with people the way you do.

Dang, I can only imagine. I used to stripe the lots and roads at Boeing years ago when I worked for Flyers Striping. Never understood why so many concrete guys are like that. It's already a tough job. Why make it harder. Thank you! 😊

I work for Boeing. They are "zero tolerance" because they want their employees to drive in that shit. But hey...at least the parking lots are done.

I had express script as a snow account 10 years ago, they were 0 tolerance too. Spent many a nights sitting and checking sidewalks for days on end. Miles of sidewalks and acres of concrete to keep clear. You have one hell of a crew rick. Mondays drive into work was interesting to say the least.. Keep up the awesome work guys. Congrats on over 50k subs.

Is it ironic that concrete guys have to salt the concrete? Do you use salt that’s safe for the concrete? I’ve ruined my driveway using salt in past. But I used rock salt 😢. Like a dummy. Love your videos dude. Your real no BS fake stuff. This channel will keep growing.

Feel sorry for every frame, body panel and brake line fitting in the Salt Belt, I'm in NW Washington, the rain belt, but we have 30yo trucks that have never seen a garage in their life with the biggest rust spot the size of a thumb tack head, your used vehicle inspections should require a acid dip but then just a seatbelt and a stereo knob would come outta the tank, my brother in law came from Minnesota in his low mile 2011 Tundra, religiously " maintened " by the dealership. While I helped him a rear brake job last year I put a 99¢ big flat head right thru the boxed frame with no hammer, just jabbing at 3" scale chunks hanging
