One thing me and my brothers do, we leave the plows on most of the time, that way if we need them, they’re right there. For instance if we go out on a salt run, and it ends up being more snow than we figured, we can push off the parking lot before salting, that way you save salt and the parking lot looks better.
Trucks look awesome. Keep some windshield washer fluid with you. If you’re bridging it will wash all the salt down to the auger. Saves vibrating it all out. Back to back days of salting is brutal. Wait until you get some storms and deal with melt off, refreeze twice a day for a week. And then get another storm 🫠. Nothin my side of pa yet.
Awesome! Great trial runs for us all to start winter. I pulled up on you at the dealership by Wiengartz last week. Great meeting you. Keep up the good work. Snow game is a game changer. Good luck and hope to see you out grinding
Just a little tip, I have a boss vbx as well. I enjoy setting the auger at 3 and spinner on 10. Turn spinner down for narrow patches and hit blast for shaded/heavy areas. The 3/10 settings seem to be conservative with salt. Can always make an additional pass. We got 6” in Kansas City over this past weekend. Exhausted from it
Brian- glad the salters are working well for you. As quickly as you can, get away from running salters on pick up trucks and get into a small dump. 1.5 yards vs 4 in the bed with an under tailgate. Less maintenance, less problems, less storage. Less bed rust rot.
Only thing I’d recommend from experience is if you can put the plow on to because we have gotten caught with our pants down before and had to put plows on the day of which is no fun. Also have a coupe of jugs of windshield washer fluid with you especially when it get really cold. Salt will freeze and it sucks if you don’t have it
Good work and looking good, try to keep a square 8" shovel to transfer salt from the rear of the box to the front where the auger or chain draws in the material. This will keep you from burning the vibrator so much and give a consistent flow of the salt, even though you are getting low on salt. Spread thin then move to another section, you can always swing back if it isn't brine'n proper. You can always swing back by and add a little, but you can't pickup excess salt lol. We are paying about $86.00 tax included per ton here StL.
Hey bryan lawn maintenance a nother great video on your channel i hope and your family have a great holiday and merry Christmas from my family to your u definitely my favorite RUclipsr for a while now
Hi Brain Brains Lawn Maintenance Nice Video of Spreading the Salt in Thoses Parking Lots Question How Many Bags Per Parking lot does it take a know your doing it in Bulk But or do you Save More Money just Dumping it into your Box vs Hand loading it with a Bucket Loader 👍
Thank you Brian for not getting political about weather modification impacting trump states again blah blah blah blah. Making its rounds everywhere again. Enjoy the snow. People act like it's the apocalypse. Glad y'all staying safe! Stay warm. And also, if you have free time. Offer some roof snow removal. Roof collapses happen alot during these events. Always help the elders
@ Not sure if he transports employees to the jobsite in warmer months or not. Guess a longer sander would be too heavy to maximize the bed. Hey, he’s the expert I’m just a curious viewer. 😉
How many of you guys are salt extra and how many salt inclusive? Every time we salt I see the bank account lower. It’s not a money maker. Mind you, we probably charge more for the all in.
Tell the guy who load u try to load towards the end truck me any salt in bed will destroy that truck not only in summer salt gets in places u can’t imagine

Exactly, never why some guys constantly take the plows on and off all winter. It goes on in November and does not come off until March

Glad you finally got a spreader and realized that’s the easiest money maker in snow removal.
Love that ur talking your numbers and your employees are there and they can see how they can grow with the company as it grows

Its great that your saving so much money. The unfortunate part is that salt will rust your truck faster
Nice work guys!!bring in that revenue!!!!
Love the VBX.
I ordered some equipment defender for my new sure trac hybrid dump trailer 🙏

Hey thanks you too!
I prefer the western snow plow and salter
I do a lot of spreading in reverse
Hey Brian looking to have my truck all lighted like yours(flashers) who do you recommend
We used to use sound off and route 1 Yousef but he recently closed shop. RJ is another guy in Chicago I think who offers work.
Yea I like the lights!

Salted for years, now we use brine. Easier and way more profitable!
Love that! What market are you guys in?
Look into switching over to a vsi and brine
Tis the season. We got about 3/4 inch here. Me no salt though. Will melt tomorrow.

What lights r u running in your grill on your truck without the plow?
Sound off signal I believe!
Mark seems like a good person and team member to have around 🤔
They're all great!
Love your Content just want to say your trucks make the same sound from the remake of war of the worlds!!!! when the aliens were about to attack....
Hahaha yes!!
The money in the snow plowing business is in salting…Then sidewalks …Plowing is a distant third…
You need to throw a camera up on the edge of that hopper so you don't have to keep checking how much salt you have left.
I own a Snow Removal company in Alaska, and We can't get snow to save our lives 😩
No more Mike B doing your salt?
Wonder why a crew cab and 8’ bed? Must be a reason but…….🤷🏽
Probably versatility in the off season
