The AOT and most every other municipality are currently hiring drivers at all levels. If you would like change, be that change. Thank you for your support.

No thank you. I have a job that I love and would definitely not like being up all hours of the day and night during a storm. Maybe the plow drivers that are working could do their job rather than sitting in parking lots. Last winter my husband and I slid down a icy snowy hill along with several other cars and saw several plows just sitting there with drivers drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. Waiting for the storm to stop is not typically the way to handle snow removal.

EDIT: My husband was a plow driver for Massachusetts and was paid very well. He wouldn’t even think of climbing into a plow truck for the state of Vermont for the money they pay. Pay low wages, get shitty drivers. Pay prevailing wages, get great drivers.
