WSDOT says that getting a new snowplow isn’t as simple as going to a dealership and placing an order.
Getting what we need to plow, sand, salt and deice the roads requires a little bit of ingenuity and a lot of behind-the-scenes tinkering.
They are adding 14 new snow plows into the fleet, which means they have to modify these International trucks so they can push a blade. Custom auto shops won’t take on these kinds of jobs because it slows down their other business.
It’s hard to sum up a dollar amount, but having our own shop saves the state of lot of time and money – plus, it’s pretty cool.
