The ice in my driveway is 3" thick, and the salt didn't even make a dent. It did make it a little porous so I can get some traction. 400 #s sounds like a lot of salt, but to be honest, it really isn't.

Sounds like someone hasn't been keeping up with his plowing duties.

good morning guys, think I'll give the truck a treat today and remove 1500 lbs of weight off it , Sounds like i won't need the 900 lb plow and 600 lbs of ballast this week.

I'm too lazy to remove the 1200# of ballast, but the plow comes off all the time as the truck is long enough to try and get around town with it off.
