Why don't people with plows on the front of their trucks keep the plow down all the time?

Feb 18, 2008 by mpolmankc | Posted in Safety

I live in Iowa and we have recently gotten a foot of snow and traveling back and forth to work is a pain. What bugs me is that no truck I see with a plow attached to it ever has the plow down, what's the deal? Just because their not getting paid they

It cost a lot of money for a plow and to keep it maintained. The cutting edge itself is about $150 or so, this is the edge that scrapes up the snow and ice. The private plow owner will only plow the parking lots he is paid to do. The city and state drivers

"If we do have that storm come in we are ready to push that whole gamut of troops out," Streets Department director Mark Serbousek said.

They're also adding streets to the city's stage one snow emergency, which means at least two inches of snow on the ground with four on the way.

"So some of the residential areas that have hills on them will get plowed first," Danek said.
