About this episode

The episode discusses the experiences of newer snowplow operators and their training during challenging winter conditions.

For newer snowplow operators, this winter season wasn't just busy - it was an opportunity and a masterclass in maneuvering plows in whiteouts and adapting to rapidly changing conditions. Josh and Anya traveled to Binghamton to sit down with one of DOT's newer snowplow operators, and one of their experienced instructors. Equipment Operator Instructor Ryan Ashman and Highway Maintenance Worker Cody Randel joined the show to talk about what this winter taught them.
