I met this guy who plows the southern sector of I-91 in Vermont when I was staying at the Inn at Magic a couple weeks back.
He tells me they get special training for rear-end collisions. His boss told him, "it's not IF you'll get hit, it's WHEN." Every single plow driver has been rear ended. Of course the damage was to the other vehicle.
He once had a tour bus sideswipe his truck and totally remove his rear view mirror, and keep going. :-o
Apparently the things he sees are pretty amazing.
They are going to be shifting to a salt brine to clear to the pavement as soon as the State coughs up the money to retrofit the trucks.
