My boss used to mount the plow pumps under the seat. I’m driving a ten wheeler down a busy state road one night and the solenoid on the pump shorted out under the seat. Cab filled up with smoke instantly, I had my head out the window trying to see so I wouldn’t hit a car, making a right turn while my foot was under that seat trying to push the shorted plow pump away from the seat frame so the truck didn’t go up in flames. 2 gauge battery wire going into the solenoid, the insulation was completely gone. All of this happened in a matter of seconds lol. Used to have all sorts of fun with his trucks.

In the northeast they teach a commonly used technique whereby you wait until all the residents in a neighborhood have painstakingly cleared a major snowfall from their driveways and then push it all back in front of them. Usually at night when the temperature drops and there is lots of ice. It’s the most fun you can have driving a plow!

Great video; I wish the operators in Okotoks actually knew how to clean ice and snow from the roads. They do little more than spread around the hazard, some of which is a result of poor road maintenance and exposed manholes. And often is the case, you will, as a motorist, slide through an intersection that has been sanded but not cleared of ice. Thus, the sand falling on a slippery surface slides across to the curb. It is apparent the town doesn't want to do anything to clear the road but rather gives the appearance of doing something. Safety is secondary in the town because they fear using ice melt, which, in turn, would require road maintenance, which they do not like to do, and thus, the traffic forces the manholes up. Just a vicious circle of lack of infrastructure maintenance. But the town uses makeup to take your eyes off the failing infrastructure.
