ok well that makes more sense, now I can understand.
Stopping often to do other chores makes it much more tolerable.
You said 36 hours of "straight plowing". I read that as "literally never stopping", which is what I questioned.

I just did 24 hrs...just stopped to refuel and eat a Cumby's biscuit and get a coffee....I need a 48 hr nap
I didnt expect to stay out all day today too.... I work for my DPW as a Sub-Contractor for plowing, because it's easier to appropriate funds for than hiring actual temp snow removal for just a seasonal thing....I went from my regular job to plowing, figuring 14 inches max....when I was hitting my routes the 3rd time in 2 hrs last night at 1am I realized we were F-ed. ended up with 26 inches here. no power outages. it was light and fluffy. but the ole' 2011 f-350 with a 8ft blade on it wasn't having much fun of it.....I limped the trans twice, lol
:spit: I got a good laugh at these couple lines. I know what you mean, as a lineman, I've worked some 24 and 32 hour shifts.
Only 18hrs here :hello: Going to hit the sack early tonight then off for some fun shooting skeet in the A.M.
Yep he already crashed (ok it was a minor minor fender bender in stop and go traffic) my truck this way; driving too tired, even after I asked him multiple times if he wanted me to drive because I saw how tired he was.
: IIRC that was after about "only" 18 hours of driving.
PICTURES. I want to wipe these images from my mind!
I still have to plow out my shop I hope that old 78 GMC K3500 has it in her!

I heard that story the other day. At least she was hot from what I was told
If you only knew about the 42 hour straight stretch steve and i did when we brought his truck to you
38" in my town....You know it's crazy when the town 10 wheelers are stuck and the payloaders are all broken. FD has to use a quad with tracks to get to people needing help. OnSpot chains on trucks are useless..On my lots, I've gotten stuck more times than I can count..And now it's raining.....I quit....
We got 18" in my town (Danbury), my buddy thast lives 15 minutes north in Southbury got absolutely burried. Over 36". Should have snapped a few more pics. We shoveled, and shoveled some more. First pics are from my house in Danbury, third and fourth pics are from my buddies house in Southbury. Fifth pic is my niece that lives up in Mass that got about 30". I want to hear from Tony what they got up his way! I heard Waterbury got hammered pretty bad Mack. Also this is my buddies trucks debut on DD. Go easy on him. Ill give someone $5 if they can point out whats wrong with his truck from the pic :angel:

Dam glad i wasn't home for this my dad plows Buckland hills mall, jc penny, and Budweiser couple others but there going to be on the go for a while. As far as sleep goes we just did a convoy last week that was 19hours long straight driving was up for 38 hours it sucked bad. 30 hour days is very common here in afghanistan cant wait to come home and go back to 8 hour days going to be cake work.
Problems with your pics
Well the biggest problem is your driving a chevy its nice your trucks fast but nothing is "stock" anymore except the seats which you may have replaced for a dildo so i will take the $5 you were talking about either cash check credit/debit paypal hell you can probly give me the truck thats work about 5$ on scrap

Dude you are an obama voter according to your username. The only reason you are trolling this thread is because you are looking for a hand out. Typical obama voter. You probaly drive some POS ford 6.0 an spent half your savings to fix that heap and still only make under what a stock duramax made in 2001 (300hp for you ford boys). What your paypal address obama1? Ill make sure you get your free money as you clearly pointed out the flaw(one of many) in my buddies truck. I'll make sure obama mails you a cell phone too.
Correct:thumb:
Thats what I'm thinking. Its some good stuff
