6 PLOW CONVOY Starting Merging Onto Highway SNOW REMOVAL

[@goldielocks2621]

Crazy the speed of the cars and the Police should have co-ordinated a rolling block to assist a safe emergence of the Snow ploughs.

[@silverado15]

Ya the way they cut in i guess they cant have police everywhere

[@southtownsjoe32]

absolutely. ......that was very ballzzzie , but great job on the plow drivers....that's a lot of truck to get moving that quick!!

[@GiantMeteor2024]

The plows are the rolling convoy. Lots of flashing and blinking lights on them should be a good clue to four wheelers to back off..😂

[@chrisstromberg6527]

Been driving in WI my whole life, been behind them when they set up. I have never seen them act this reckless in WI, that was no way to run a snow removal operation, looked like amateur hour.

Where is the police escort for traffic control?

[@silverado15]

where i live they just bust out like this have seen videos where police do escort them!

[@57thorns]

You want police escort for all plowing? Congratulations, you will now have to wait a day after the end of snow fall for all the snow removal to finish.

[@blairmayer7884]

Nicely done, but car drivers try not to give them a chance. But they can't complain enough if the roads are not plowed. Those six plow drivers are excellent at what they have to do!

[@silverado15]

Yes what you comment is so true

[@backalleyrailroading2835]

Excellent coverage of the plow convoy. Love how they just blast across the highway after coming off the ramp !!!

[@silverado15]

Thanks ya thats the best part

[@warriorblue63]

As someone who has plowed for many years on the highway when you are merging onto the highway with a bunch of plow trucks, you do not slow down to a near stop you stay close together behind each other and you begin the merge process

[@johnpatrickmatthewsmusic]

Yeah that stopping can cause more accidents, they should have rolled into the lane in a pack

[@silverado15]

John patrick below comment nailed it with his answer

[@pilototraidor]

Fantastic coverage!. Excellent job snow removal team!!.... Thanks Silverado for sharing.

[@silverado15]

Thanks for watching Piloto

[@HenryNeville]

Now THAT was cool! Perfect film timing on your part too.

[@silverado15]

Got lucky standing on the bridge and they just stopped there!

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

strange way to merge so aggressively, kind of expected them to enter and then slowly merge especially due to approaching traffic

[@silverado15]

Yes i agree with you

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@Jellybean Dakota if it was done safely, I'd agree with you,but to enter a highway like this isn't safe in flowing traffic at all. Only situation I'd do so is when being an emergency vehicle and there's a traffic jam

[@silverado15]

@Jellybean Dakota good comment

[@silverado15]

@@EnjoyFirefighting okay good point!

[@silverado15]

@Jellybean Dakota seems he was trying to go fast but not super fast acceleration

Don't be stupid & try to play chicken with a plow truck they far out weight most vehicles on the road.

100% agree

[@MrPummi88]

Schön zu sehen, dass nicht nur in Deutschland die Leute zu dumm sind, derartige Situationen korrekt zu erkennen und sich richtig zu verhalten.

[@silverado15]

Yes it happens in every country in the world

[@sedidandanazu535]

Vielleicht hat der Fahrer erwartet, dass die LKWs erstmal auf der rechten Spur bleiben und dann sich über die gesamte fläche verbreiten, halt mit Vorsicht und so. Stattdessen ist das erste Fahrzeug unmittelbar auf die linke Spur gefahren.

[@darcanx]

That seems like an accident waiting to happen

[@silverado15]

True but they have to get the plows on the road in one convoy

[@jameshuntsman6046]

We live in a world of idiot drivers. Thank you snow plow drivers you rock.

[@silverado15]

agree 100%

[@Jordan-sg6rh]

Idiot drivers always going to fast for conditions having no consideration for others.

[@silverado15]

Agree the plows are merging the smart thing would be to slow down!

[@AtoOOniko]

Man this video is legendary. Im obsessed with echelon plowing now, wtf

[@silverado15]

ya the plow convoys are so cool to catch and watch!

[@FlyingGentile]

2:16 that black car had plenty of time to lay off the throttle, and pump the brakes to slow down. The driver definitely saw the trucks coming for the merge. But it it could have been a nice litte 'extra-dent' for that car 😅

[@silverado15]

ya i agree lots of stopping time maybe he was distracted or tunnel vision

[@ToeTag1968]

You are really silly for standing on an icy bridge with traffic rolling by just for a little video. You have to know how quickly and easily something could have gone south there. How are you going to dodge a car there? Jump off 40 feet into more oncoming traffic in the snow?

[@silverado15]

Firstly thanks for your comment. The bridge i stand on is a plowed sidewalk don't stand on the road!. The plow convoy stopped and waited for about 15 minutes exchanged waves with several of the drivers. They knew i was shooting a video. They have used a few of my videos for summer classroom training. also i wear a bright orange safety vest. Thanks

[@travispower2683]

Some drivers have no common sense.

[@silverado15]

yes for sure

[@Wink_Dinkerson]

It's not a plow convoy it's called "ganging up" or "gang"

yes that's a different way to call it

[@happilyham6769]

I was expecting police to stop traffic as they entered but considering this probably has to be done multiple times per day at many different points, it's not realistic. No reason why you (motorists) can't see and make way for a giant column of plows. This is Canada after all, this sort of thing should be expected and planned for, especially if it's been snowing.

[@silverado15]

yes you a re bang on when the plows do enter the lead plow does hesitate before merging

It’s like snow makes drivers dumber.

I’m always curious who would be at fault if a car plows into them when they merge. Kinda close with that black car, but I’ve seen closer calls in person. One guy went into the median. No idea what became of that since I was ahead of the plows.

[@silverado15]

Pretty sure the black car would be charged

[@dereka5017]

@@silverado15I think so too. But they'd likely be pissed about it. You see how aggressively those plows cross.

Ya i guess they must just get impatient waiting and then just go now the guy in the black car only decide to slow down in the last second as well i am sure he saw them merging on
