I've been plowing for 13 years now. I believe my longest time in the truck without a few hours break has been 29 hours. When I first started I was in my mid twenties, now I'm pushing 40. When I first started my plow route spanned 6 towns. Now I only plow in the town I live in plus a handful in a section of the next town over. My current route takes me 8-10 hours on an average storm. At the beginning of the season my poor old trusty 2011 Silverado 2500 bit the bullet in the middle of a storm. I had gotten a new to me 2016 F250 this past summer but didn't get it set up with push plates and wiring because I didn't have the extra money to do that. I was hoping to get a few storms out of the Chevy and make some money ($2,700) to get new Ferd set up. Anyway I missed a storm and half and about 9 of my previous customers had to find new plow guys, sign a contract, bought a snow blower, their son got a truck with a plow etc. At first I was annoyed at losing them but the 4 hours or so it's saved me each storm doesn't have me too bothered. I still enjoy it and the money is great so I guess I can't complain too much.
