Great story, Jeramey. I bookmarked it!
Great story. Funny to learn that the streets each driver selects are based on seniority, rather than skill. That likely means that the most in-experienced drivers are plowing the most challenging streets in the least reliable trucks (east side anyone?). Would love to see an incentive based on difficulty, maybe attracting more experienced drivers to the more challenging streets.
Great overview of an important task. It’s disheartening that snow removal only seems to be noticed when people decide it isn’t being taken care of fast enough.
Excellent story
