    My buddies dad ran out after the plow guy and said he would give him a tip to clear the end of his driveway. The plow guy did it , my buddies dad handed him 2 lolli pops . Later that night the plow guy came back and piled up 6 ft and the end of the driveway .

    I was given permission to plow a yard from the driveway to the front door for a disabled customer. Was down a long dirt road, then a dirt dead and road, single wide house with a yard full of trash. Told them it might tear up the yard and I might hit something doing it. Big mistake plowing it! Got a call later with them freaking out that the yard was tore up and I had ran over their kid's toy. Came back over and the yard was fine, just a bit of grass showing and the customer had actually ran over the toy with their own car as it was their tracks. Turns out this person likes to scam people. Sometimes I don't miss plowing.

    Been plowing for 10 plus years we had a contract with a church sometime back in a small city and while i was plowing the longest stretch of the lot a car pulled in and stopped right next to the line of snow i was plowing and i had to stop with a huge mound of snow. I asked why did you stop there and the responds was they told me to park here mister. There was an apartment complex next door and they would use my lot to move cars so they could clean their lot after that i would push snow mounds at all entrances until i had the lot fully cleared. Still plowing to these days but not that church

    Moral of the story. A snow plow contractor makes a shipload of money. At nighttime, police will NEVER bother you. In fact, most nights you can even stop at your friend's house for a couple hours; eat a pig and slam back a few beers while getting PAID big money from the taxpayers for partying and having a blast.

    I live in Michigan, and several years ago, I fired up my snowblower so I could clean up my driveway and sidewalks. I decided to be a decent fella and took care of the sidewalks for an elderly couple who lived across the street from me. The next day, they had the temerity to call the State Police on me. Their justification for doing so was because I supposedly scared them since I'm a big guy, and I rarely smile.

    I have 50 driveways, a few small parking lots, and a few private roads that I take care of every snow storm. One of the private roads I plow is gravel with 2 houses on it. The people at the end pay for the whole road because the Connecticut transplants that live in the other house refuse to pay for snow plowing. The guy is middle aged short with a mustache and big gold chains and is always bitching about keeping the blade up so I don't scrape up the road. One time I heard him hooting and hollering "What the F is this you Fing idiot" etc so I reversed very quickly to his location, hopped out of my truck and got right in his face. In the process of moving hundreds of pounds of wet snow boulders from infront of his driveway, I accidentally scraped some gravel up. We exchanged some words, I banned him from the pub that I own, and he used to frequent. The other neighbor eventually got a restraining order against him and he moved.

    The blades all have a spring system on plow trucks so you can smoke a man hole all you want and it won’t damage anything. Unless you had some ghetto cheap piece of crap plow which in that case it would prob break eventually without hitting anything as the springs are shock absorbers on the plow so other stuff like welds, bolts, the truck frame doesn’t break or get bent lol.

    Rob all I can say is while watching this, do the world a favor, and slow down, as you guys do 40 mph at night with barely a quarter of an inch of snow on the ground, which tears the crap out of the road to the point that my neighbor has her entire sidewalk covered in 6 inches of Macadam from the road itself as we speak from the snow plow plowing the road way too fast and just tearing it to pieces
    and I bet that guy who was watching you was a victim of that, to say nothing of the damage that speed does to the road as a whole between the manhole covers being out of wack, raised, lowered or completely out of spec and off to the side, so that when you think your safe you hit it
    or the frost heaves that is a result of you guys just slamming the road down and buckling it, especially at stop lights where the weight of the truck is directly transferred into the Macadam from having to stop in a hurry with an 8 ton truck
