Salt is good in foods but not on the roads. It corrodes cars badly.

@JimHowDigsDirt Nice, also my own truck is a international single, similar to yours, 136 is the number, i have also ran 142 once or twice i believe, i think that truck is up in northern cape breton. keep the videos coming!

@JimHowDigsDirt Yeah, i heard the same thing from a wisconsin D.O.T. official.
Still not sure exactly why that is though.
One other thing he said is the salt is mixed with a liquid concentration of CALCIUM CHLORIDE.
This stuff REALLY melts the ice.
I use the same in pellet form around my house. Works good but don't touch it with your bare hands.
Turned mine dry and CHALK WHITE.
Draws out moisture fast.

@JimHowDigsDirt It's definitley possible that sand could do some damage to vehicles as well as salt but i thought sand was the least harmful when compared to salt.
It's certainly less cheaper.
The drawback with sand is that it dosen't melt the snow & ice,just provides traction.
As far as plastic cars go,don't laugh to hard.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if that were to happen in the next 10 to 15 years.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious but, what kind of salters are these trucks running?
SoloTwo42 4 weeks ago
@SoloTwo42 They have a conveyor chain about two feet wide on the floor which feeds the salt to the front of the box. From there it drops on another smaller conveyor chain across the front of the box that can put the salt out on either side of the truck and drops on the spinner behind the fuel tanks.

I had to look 2 or 3 times before i could actually read the number on that western star, i thought it was ours... i work out of the sydney base, our star is 2686.. is that 6x6?
jdmstylealex 2 months ago
@jdmstylealex Yes it is a 6x6. That's 82679 based out of Lyons Brook just outside of Pictou.

@DIECASTCOLLECT97 Yes I am. Mostly just salt runs so far this year. Not much snow at all. We need a big storm so I can get some more videos.
