  • My truck has air brakes, but a GVWR of under 26,0001 lbs. Do I need a Commercial Driver’s License?

    No, unless the vehicle is used to transport hazardous materials that require placards. Air brakes alone do not invoke the CDL requirement. However, the National Transportation Board advises that you should train the driver in the differences between hydraulic and air brakes.

SNOWPLOWS

  • How do I know my vehicle is recommended for snow plowing?

    Snow plowing is recommended only for vehicles that are equipped with the manufacturer’s snowplow prep package. Plowing with a vehicle that does not have a prep package may result in poor handling and could even damage your vehicle. Contact us to determine if your vehicle is properly suited for plow installation.

  • Will the snowplow mount from my old truck fit my new truck?

    Many of our snowplows utilize custom-designed mounting hardware that’s made for exact makes and models. You will probably need new hardware when transferring your plow to a new vehicle. If the plow is just designed to fit a front or rear 2″ receiver hitch, however, you will have no problem using the same blade on different trucks.

  • What is the best snowplow for my truck?

    There are several factors to consider when shopping for a snowplow. First, consider how frequently you will be plowing, as well as how large an area you need to keep clear. Other features like remote controls and hydraulic vs. electric powered systems will also influence what snowplow is the best for you. Give us a call so we can help you determine the best snowplow for your needs.

  • Why does my plow blade wear unevenly?

    If your plow does not sit level on the ground when fully angled, chances are the clevis height on your vehicle is not right. Make sure the A-frame connecting the plow to the vehicle is level with the ground while the plow is resting.

  • Do I need a four-wheel-drive truck to plow?

    More traction on your vehicle gives you more versatile plowing and lets you push more snow at a time, which is why 4WD vehicles are the preferred choice. Two-wheel-drive vehicles can also plow, though adding some extra weight to the vehicle will help push through more snow. If your truck or SUV is 2WD, more frequent plowing is recommended so that you don’t need to push as much snow at once.
