The rigs on Colorado Department of Transportation snowplows never fully come off in the high country. Crews know they have to be ready for anything.
“We’re always prepared and ready for snow up until about mid-June here in Colorado,” Summit County’s CDOT Supervisor Dean Decker explained.
“We have several pieces of equipment that will keep buckled up for snow removal,” Decker said. “We use those for rock removal or some flooding if we have on the minor roads hail, but also combine those with snow removal and have other trucks ready for asphalt repairs and things of that nature.” Right now, Decker said he has more job openings than drivers right now. CDOT has struggled with driver shortages for years now, but the teams make due with what they have.
