"Buckles up lunchbox"

[@OGSnoberry]

lmao I used to work with the guy that buckled up his lunchbox. That was 100% for show, normally it's left at the shop or thrown between seats/on the floor.

[@kayzeaza]

It do be like that tho

[@augustusdrane5249]

@@kayzeaza yes my supervisor is very pretty on the things I do also

[@grejsancoprative]

Well, since your lunch box are considered cargo; pretty much like any other cargo you carry on the truck, the same rules apply.

[@jordanm.4855]

Why is this in my recommended

[@danyf3116]

...we are still in 2020, right? Maybe we'll have the storm in the likes we've never seen, to paraphrase a certain someone, and this will come in handy. I still have Alien Invasion by Christmas on my 2020 BINGO card.

[@TristenHernandez]

@@danyf3116 this is the funniest comment of the year.

[@dand33911]

These techniques will work, whether there is snow or not..

[@yzhang8629]

At least you know how to stay safe when you are around a snow plow truck

[@esahutske]

I wondered the same thing, then I realized I looked at national weather forecast last night because my son is traveling east through Iowa today. Tracking us has never been so easy.

[@Timelessplays]

My girlfriend said I needed to learn how to plow I'm not sure she ment for me to end up here

[@dylanstarzec2099]

😂

[@KarenTheComedian]

Just remember to secure any lose items before beginning to plow.

[@xz3693]

I hope you didn't apply this video to whatever she intended. >seatbelt on >continue making passes >use rumbling and mailboxes to know if you are still on the road. Make sure to spread the white stuff...

HOT!

I hope u found the spreader controls

I laughed so hard 🤣

[@LibertyTroopers]

LOL

[@South_0f_Heaven_]

They forgot to mention manhole covers as objects. When the blade catches one you get woken up real quick lol. Ripped one out of the road one night plowing thought I hit a car.

[@MrZwapp]

Same with sewer grates, a hell of a bang when you hit one that you don't see cus it's covered in snow !! Happy and safe plowing! From Hamilton, Ontario Canada.

[@South_0f_Heaven_]

@@MrZwapp yeah just one of those things people don’t realize. Pretty much knew where all of the problems were in my area but can never be too careful. Literally tore a flange out of the road one day, had to hump the stupid thing back over to cover the giant hole in the road. Never fails when you get into a decent groove and auto pilot kicks in the inevitable BANG gets you lol.

[@MrZwapp]

​@@South_0f_Heaven_ LOL I know exactly what you mean....out of no where a curb appears and kicks the wing up 4' . I took a mailbox off it's post in my 1st year lol .... felt bad but supervisor told me the city would just replace it !! Just finished a 14 hr shift new years night.

[@South_0f_Heaven_]

@@MrZwapp yeah nobody appreciates people who plow snow, every year the public seems to get nastier. Worker for family that did subcontracting for the local town, some days lucky the plow would lift back up. Always a adventure thou, personally I prefer from 10PM to about 4AM. Less people on the road to bother you just have to watch out for snowmobiles and atvs coming out of nowhere.

[@South_0f_Heaven_]

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.

[@jordan2735]

I can't believe there's not a solid snow plow simulator game yet.

[@koltonhazen3306]

Hear me out farming simulator 22 has a snow plow mode during winter season

[@chriscampion9906]

That's an awesome idea!! Could also be used as a learning tool..although doing it in real life if done correctly can be a great thing .one experience that sticks with me was 2am doing a med size lot it was so quit tou could hear thr flakes land . Then there was thunder an lightning ..amazing

[@jacobszymczak9323]

I like how it leads with making sure to seatbelt in your lunch, the most important step

[@chriscampion9906]

Yea the hiding man hole covers can stop you in your tracks

[@NoseyMemes]

Why was this recommendation to me and why did I watch the whole thing?

I at least live in Iowa I'm like hey I could do this. Wonder what the pay is like.

When someone else's job training video shows up in recommended and you watch it without getting paid. . .

[@lorenkoska8934]

I didn’t know there called it a gore . I learned something

[@nathansharp4168]

"So do you have any experience as a plow driver?" "Well I watched this KZbin video that randomly came up so i'd say I'm pretty qualified"

[@mckrunchytoast2469]

I've never thought about it before, mainly because I'm from Georgia and snow is rare down here. But snowplow drivers are another under appreciated job I'm sure. So thanks you guys for keeping America moving during the winter.

[@frankiechileman479]

I plowed snow for 17 years Colorado... Loved every minute of... Especially in the mountains

You Saskatchewanies sure know your snow.

[@excrement8776]

im glad this was in my recommended. me being an electrician in a state that snows maybe once every 4 years, ill never know when i may need this information!

I know a few plow drivers in my town that need to watch these videos.

[@larrylc23]

POV: Now you're a certified snowplow driver.

I've always wondered how they knew where the road was.

Call Mr. Plow! That's my name! That name again, is Mr. Plow!

[@CoinsAndCapsaicin]

I have no idea why this was on my recommended videos but its strangely enjoyable.

[@Engineer9736]

I’ve never driven a snowplow and i probably never will, yet KZbin lets me watch this, and i watched it all 🤪

[@asmith7094]

Wife: be safe tonight Me and the boys: 11:13

[@iain8837]

To summarise, clear the road, push the snow off the road, not back on to it. Don’t go crazy fast, don’t kill anyway with the plough, use your indicators and strap your lunch in with a seat belt.

[@IanCaine4728]

Just watched a random recommended video on snowplowing. Kinda gives a new appreciation for the nuance.

[@adonai56]

Who ever allowed these public for access - I have enjoyed my IDOT learning experience!

[@DaHitch]

I came because KZbin recommended this to me. I stayed for the comments. I rarely see snow where I live. Learned a bunch about plowing though!

[@Thomas20Smith]

Thanks IowaDOT if I ever wanna move from Mississippi to Iowa I’ll know I can get a job as plow operator thanks to this video 👍🏽

Solid video. I feel smart af at two in the morning!

Thanks I didn’t know what I would do without this

[@cubs197]

Wow, there is a lot to think about when plowing snow. Like everything past 10:43 I wouldn't have thought about

[@QemeH]

"You can use objects like road signs, mail boxes or guard rails to find the edge of the road." Has Iowa never heard of *snow poles* ?!?

[@adamgrosskreutz7546]

I find it funny how they had to list off the things that you can use.

[@OGSnoberry]

That's what a delineator is. He specifically mentioned it as the first object to look for.

I didn‘t see any...

[@aidanmcgregor8789]

Insane that they let cars pass snow plow convoys, here in canada, you get a huge fine if you do, and it’s also extremely dangerous.

[@xx5zi]

And that is why Canadian plow trucks are involved in far fewer accidents than we are here in the U.S.

[@daveshack298]

This must be the 'HOW TO' for residents of southern states... I live in N.E. Wisconsin. We can argue about who gets worse snowstorms but, I think we can agree: that anybody that lives in our states; has moved plenty of snow, and INSTINCTIVELY knows how to move snow...

[@garywatts8543]

I grew up in Idaho. Unfortunately, snow removal isn't an instinctive thing. It is something that us "snowies" learned at a very young age, but it was learned, nevertheless.

[@0xsergy]

eh, as a canadian theres some decent info in there. you don't know what you don't know until you know it so you don't realize what you're missing.
