Snow Plow, Sand Truck

Got some days off and went for a ride in northern BC on a plow truck, early morning start and COLD!...it was fun, but definately a job I couldn't do. The truck is a 2009 Western Star, they take the spread boxes off in the summer to pull belly dump trailers for the gravel program and to stockpile sand for the winter. The squeaks and beeps are when the driver sets his spread control...can't spread over 50kmph, Now that I know that the more i get pissed about the jerk that rocked me 2years ago while travelling to Ft Nelson

I got a little queeezzy driving across that extremely long narrow bridge....LOL Nice ride along, and I don't think a person ever gets tired of seeing the wildlife.....nice to see the elk. oh, by the way.....I like the warm up exercise the loader was doing.....bwahahaha

@artistfarmer ... that warm up was so much longer than showed...it was bone chilling brrrr! and as a matter o fact the driver said this would get a comment about the bridge...I used to work way back on the end of this road... long time ago, neat to see the changes (or lack of them) on BC's crappy road system
