Plow King versus Senor Plow
Published over 4 years ago
I just drove into the city and witnessed an interesting event on the traffic heavy, snow covered highway. There was a team of snow plows lined up across all lanes (at least 6 or 7 huge trucks), and one of them on the right hand side snow plow for some reason had its dumper lifted all the way up. There was another huge truck right behind it blowing its horn like crazy trying to get its attention, but the attention wasn't obtained about the raised dumper until its was too late - the dumper smashed into an overhead sign.
Luckily there was no catastrophe - there was a big bang and I'm sure it gave the driver a decent scare, but all in all the situation was OK. Hopefully no permanent damage was done to either the truck or the sign.
Seeing this made me think of two questions:
Why don't the driver's of these big snow plow trucks have radios to communicate with each other?
Why was the truck able to drive at 20+ miles per hour with its dump bed in the fully upright position?
