Trucking Road Salt! One Load Is White & One Load Is Blue? This Is What They Use To Keep Roads Safe!

[@badgerpa9]

When the blue salt is in your truck it looks like a lot of salt, when you dump it in front of that pile it looks like a pickup load. lol. Stay safe and healthy Shane.

[@JrFlexing909]

Yea buddy, intros getting better and better. Nice mash-up "Shane S. Welcome vid." Got your self a Log book I-pad, Nice looks awesome. Keep up the great work and stay safe on the roads.

Not for log books buddy, for Spotify and radio only haha!

[@davidagnew8027]

Awesome video Shane. Yes I agree the Tiveitdale truck stop is a good place to eat. My customer from Georgetown has 3 farms up in Harriston and I have stopped there several times. Learn something new every day when it comes to the blue salt. Keep up the great videos .

Great video man I'm in Ireland love seeing a bit of the Great American country side ,ps your truck looks and sounds amazing

[@blauer2551]

Ive got a pic from the Detroit salt mine and the line of gravel trains look like toys next to the pile with a D11 pushing around on top of it. The D11 even looks small on top.

Welcome back brother , been missing these videos 😎

Hi Shane nice video like seeing the back roads we have been really busy downhere hauling the white gold 😂👍

[@seanmeyer6243]

Never had the pleasure of hauling road salt. I did haul magnesium chloride once & the was interesting. Good video. 👍

[@johnwatson9472]

Hi Shane another good video like seeing all the back roads keep them coming 👍

[@xxch4osxx]

The blue additive is to lower the temperature the salt will work down too. Not sure exactly what it is, but it works. I have also seen beet juice mixed with salt for the same effect. Beet juice works great as a replacement for calcium for hauling aggragates. No need to worry about getting it on your hands or gloves or boots, it wont ruin them like calcium!

[@tomcander3669]

The "blue" is just a dye so it can be seen better while spreading

[@tooez90]

@@tomcander3669 I'm afraid not Tom...I do the maintenance in Seaforth where he gets the blue salt from...its actually a chemical de-icer as well as a blue dye ...somewhat corrosive but lowers the temp that the salt works at

[@tomcander3669]

@@tooez90 then thats been added by a 2nd company. In the States blue salt is nothing but a dye. Purple, green, or orange has been mixed with an agent. Morton Salt used the blue dye as their claim to fame for years!!!

[@deanmckee1385]

Thanks Shane have a good week

[@carmiethompson2676]

The additive that turns the white salt blue allows a better visual trail for road crews to determine what area has been salted to reduce overuse. It also makes the salt more efficient in melting ice & can melt at lower ambient temps. The blue does 'cake' easier then the white. I'd like to see a 50/50 mix of blue salt w/ sand to decrease salt use & more efficient salt spreaders used by municipalities. All water has minerals in it which includes some salts. A saltier concentration in freshwater does reduce the oxygen level for fish. Various aquatic plants can be planted to offset the salt levels. There are other methods that can be used during the melt/runoff period.

[@blauer2551]

There is blue, green, brown, pink, white, and red that I deliver. Different melt temps and granular size and price of course.

Good video young man

[@lukuscarter3563]

Do you coat your chrome and other vulnerable metals on your truck with WD-40 to protect it from the salt? I heard another driver talking about that and how it added a layer of protection from the salt.

[@buddyreed2623]

If they use the blue salt on roads, are the conditions different? What is added to make it blue. If you had pocket t shirts for a good price, I would but I am in the U.S.. I guess it could only be your Canadian subscribers. Have good days!

[@tonymidkiff2108]

How come so light with all those axles?

[@markjanssens5484]

Is the salt brought to Vanastra and Seaforth by rail?

[@StevensLTD]

No, they run a bunch of transfer loads from Goderich salt mine

[@thomaskanipe4615]

What are you allowed to gross on ur dump trailer In pounds lol Down here in Ky we can legally gross 120,000 with coal but we usually go over that Can’t get over how much your truck weighs It’s so light My Mack I was driving with a 34 ft frame type east Tri axle trailer empty was a little over 38,000 But it was tall and wide

[@MrJ4306]

its in kilograms 132000 lbs

[@tomcander3669]

That's just for coal

Why don't you guys make everything cab operated like the gate lock, dump valve ect instead of getting out every load?

Laws buddy

I also like to get out and check, nothing worse then a box to the sky and ur tailgate didn't unlock haha
