Just Another Shortage-Snow Plow Drivers

[BullGear]

Seems like there's not enough of anything going around lately. Now there's a natioinal shortage of snow plow drivers. Who would have thunk it....

National snowplow driver shortage may cause school delays during winter

Winter is coming, and some states are not ready as a shortage of snowplow drivers may cause school delays and road closures.

I live in a suburb west of Detroit. The street snow removal is so bad I'd never notice.

Good...now we will have a shortage of snow shovels for the poors.

Ain’t seen a spring yet the snow didn’t melt.

In Ohio they are for the most part seasonal jobs. Meaning after April they kick you to the curb. No benefits, no security, they say there is a hiring freeze on permanent workers because of covid. If they offered people a REAL job they might have better luck.

Snow plowing is a poor man's game. Check another thread.

I live in Wyoming. What’s a snow plow?

Government is going to issue snow cone cups to everyone since food will be in short supply to save the earth.

My BIL works for the state here. They do county road building (99% gravel) in the summer, and maintenance on equipment and plow in the winter. It's a good gig with ok pay and excellent benefits.


They can't get enough people working. He had a class b, and they had him take a state truck and take the class a test to get him in the snowplow.

He mentioned the other day that new class a licenses will require a federally approved class and lessons. So they're doubling down on the driver shortage by creating another hurdle to starting out in the field.

It seems that you haven't been here long enough, to 'get' that one. That's fine. Others understand.

Piss flavored syrup, too, no doubt.
