Well the Milk has to be picked up every day, so out I went at 4am in the blizzard. Just east of Olds was a whiteout and was using the fence posts on either side as reference, doing 50k bashing through small drifts and then Wham it went dark in side the truck as was engulfed in snow. Hit a 4ft deep and 100ft long drift, 2 hrs and 3 tractors later was back at it. Total 4 stucks today normal 9hr day turned into 15. Back at it 3:30 tomorrow morn.:d

Stayed strait as an arrow, stepped out of the cab and stayed on top of the snow.

Suck it up Princess... LoL

You got to train up your customers better, road should be plowed and a pretty young blonde should have a hot coffee and a warm smile when you get there.

In the oilpatch somebody would bitch that you don't have two sets on...

Been there..done that :d :beer: The pleasures of truckin' :cool: We had to unload at the staging area for the Wapiti Forest Road ( now called the O-Jay) because the pilot vehicles couldn't plow through the snow. The boys came back two days later to finish the job. This was 2 winters ago.

Wow, those are incredible pics............ I guess our little bit of snow drifts that every car is stuck in, in our neighbourhood, is kinda trivial compared to those.........;)

No, fan was packed good, took 2 of use to get the hood open after I clean the packed snow out of the fenders, I guess this is what an avy would be like, flowed in and firmed up. On a better note, didn't get stuck once today:woohoo1: but did make a few detours, didn't feel like doing it again.
