Don't pass the snowplow!

For years, we’ve heard every excuse.

✅ “I’m late.”

✅ “They’re going too slow.”

✅ “I’ve got a big truck; I’ll just go around them.”

And we still have never heard a good reason to pass an actively plowing snowplow during challenging conditions. And I’m sure we’ll hear more reasons in the comments, but just no.

That plow is clearing the way, not in your way. When you absolutely must travel during a snowstorm, the safest place to be is behind one of our plows. Every mile they travel improves road conditions and helps keep everyone safer.

Passing a plow puts you, the operator, and other drivers at risk. The excuses are wrong. The safety message is not. 🤚Stay back. ☺️Be patient. 💪Let them work.
