Jim Bob, Would you consider less tune-age (music) and more truck, plow & road noise and more commentary? Tell more about Canada's weather, towns and the stories. A lot of us down here in the states don't have a clue...Get her done did, that's fer sure! Thanks for the video's.

Your MAC truck is such a beaut, I love it everytime I see it. I also loved the colorful dash display, its pretty! Yep, you got a dusting for sure, time to plow it off and salt them roads, yes sir! Your MAC plows up that steep hill like a boss! WOW, you just upgraded to 4-inches, here we go. 😊

Jim remember the days and nights like that are very few. Clear skies, no wind excellent visibility. Also no traffic. Mother Nature can not be nice at times. I enjoy your videos with the beautiful scenery.

First, how many yards of salt does the truck carry and how many gallons of brine? When are you using the brine? aka what makes brine worth using in X conditions vs XYZ conditions? Can you go a little in depth one day with it?

The boys kept smashing the grizzlies on our spreaders, especially the epokes with the extended box loading on flat ground, so they bought us some highlift loaders. Made a big difference.

How do you like running the Mack? I ran one last year with our county and this year I switched to a different route and run an international. I hate the international.

Well, Marsha's hope sure looks much different then Hadley's hope, helps that its not a barren rock with xenomorph's scrawling around. But we need to get back to snow plowing video's, thats what brought me to your channel a year ago. Canada sure is beautiful though, and thats what this video shows.

In addition to the visuals, I appreciated the music, especially that you chose a vocal...which most avoid for innocuous instrumentals. Nicely done!

Very cool! I was trying to figure out where deep into PC it might be, but the with the brook running right beside the highway, I couldn't imagine where else is quite like that of MH. The drone footage really explains how the route of the railway and highway was determined so many years ago. Thanks for creating this :-)

Why build a pile of snow to have to get through at the start. You should have bought in a loader or a grader for that road

I am a plow driver for my state. I take care of the main thorough fares, which was probably self-explanatory because I work for my state versus a village or town but anyway I was wondering if there are any tips and tricks for plowing snow drifts?
