Anyone know how much one of those plows costs? And what do you need to do to become a snowplow operator? Is it just a matter of passing a license test at the DMV?

For serious plowing, you need a big truck. Forget the pick-up truck based units....they're just toys good for a couple inches of snow.

Big trucks cost well over $100K new...so look for a late model used one.

Here's a nice one...it even has an Allison automatic transmission!

2007 Peterbilt 340 - Dump Trucks in Marengo IL

You will need a Class B CDL (commercial drivers license) which involves a bunch of tests at DMV...written amd driving.

Just don't be blastin' that air horn when you go by my house!

I know of two co-workers who haven't had a plow yet. One is off of Lee Chapel in Burke, and the other is off of Hooes Rd.
