Economics of plowing

[Karl F]

did 76 hours in a 1962 GMC 6 wheel dump truck, blizzard of 78, last man standing, town of Brewster, biggest POS ever, Highway supervisor figgered i be the first broke down, he pulls me over on Lower Road 3 days later, to tell me at that point, I am the only one still mobile... no brakes, no clutch, no lights for the most part, but still rolling... manual pump on the plow, and NO power angle.. fun... NOT.. only time you know you nodded off was when the headache went away, for a few seconds, can't figure out dawn from dusk, nor how many days have past.. well.. it does resemble hard core surfcasting at that point.

For a minute I thought you meant the blizzard of 58.
Don't cha love siting in your sweat on a plastic seat while your feet are freezing and you have to open the door every ten minutes to clear the wiper arms from the snow pileup. Don't forget trying to backup with one of those four inch round lollipop mirrors that were before the west coast mirrors.
All that for five bucks an hour. That's truck,fuel,and driver.
Yup .what a killing. The things you do to feed your babies
