bulldogboy Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I was driving a fire department vehicle on an emergency call one snowy evening years ago when the road I was on passed under a highway bridge. At the exact moment I went under the bridge a plow on the highway above dumped a load of snow completely covering my windshield. Needless to say, I now always check the bridge above when passing underneath. Lesson learned. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 must be a little more lax in ct than upstate ny? we cant blow or throw snow off bridges, cant even blow or plow snow INTO the Mohawk river from an above bridge, but can spend money to truck it, dump it on the river bank and ''let nature take its course'' letting it melt into the river. unreal.

rsb502 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Im sure those old US Army D7's weren't hard on the asphalt or anything. I remember growing up they used graders and wheel loaders to plow the streets here, the city and county together only had like 4 plows, and 2 of them probably didn't work. I think ever since the county highway dept here has bought Granites they are all equipped for plows and TDOT has bought who knows how many plow trucks in the last 20 years, of course most of the plows are on the original mold board still.

rsb502 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 TDOT and RCHD trucks, the RCHD truck has aluminum wheels, that was done by the driver, the guys that go to work there are there to retire and the county lets em fix up their trucks. 2 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Rutherford county highway dept is almost exclusively Mack trucks, only the two tons being other makes and TDOT is probably 70% Mack, almost all the heavy trucks are Mack again the two ton trucks are the other makes, mostly Freightliner and Sterling now. RCHD has a CH set forward lowboy truck and TDOT has a couple CL tri axle tracors and a couple CH set forwards, the only other heavy haul tractor I know of is an Autocar.

2stacksuperdog Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 heres a RD from a all mack fleet besides a freightliner(worst truck they ever bought) and a L8000 ford that was pieced together by them. The sate made a good deal with freighshaker so they encouraged everybody to buy one. Follows around the sweeper now.... 1 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatcity Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Umm-Mark, I believe a blizzard requires SNOW.Is he looking at it coming his way?Remember one year, forecast was snow in feet, not inches. Trucks were loaded, plows on, run and tested a dozen times. Everyone in at 7 am. Lunchtime-nothing yet. Called off at 5 pm.
