Snow work

Does liquid de-icer work for my truck box
I have a tandem axle truck that I'm going to be using for relocating snow . And was told others have sprayed their boxes with a liquid to keep snow from building up . I've asked different people and no one knows what it is . I stopped by a business that sells snow equipment and they say they only sell BRINE by bulk , but can't guarantee the stuff will work and only sell it in bulk 275 gal containers . Also the stuff is only good to 15-17 degrees .

Can anyone help me out or guide me in the right direction .


Thanks

call it cement snow

Yes thats a problem, my loader, backhoe buckets, plow blades dump
bodys. The only or cheapest way is I just keep spraying diesel on
them. We just have to figure a way to keep
these things sliprey. Fustrating aint it. Haul a couple loads and come
back with half a load. Diesel helps but I spray it every load same thing
hauling asphalt every load has to be sprayed.

Duct the exhaust so it comes out below the bed..

The big boys actually plumb the exhaust into ducts built into the boxes.

I know this sounds crazy and maybe x-rated but I used to sell street sweepers,
what we used to get muck out of the bed was a vibrator. It was installed near the front of the bed and with a push of a button it would shake the bed. It worked pretty well with dirt and mud, I don't know if it would work with snow.

Nope not crazy, I got a freind 10 triaxales 15 dump trailers and they
all were ordered with viabrators which are electric. Works perfect. Also
some guys use liners, snow/ asphalt, that works nothing sticks , BUT
its big bucks.
