All vehicles must report within one hour of notification. - When directed, vehicles will travel to and from their routes with blades down and working and then upon their arrival only plow on their assigned route, unless instructed otherwise. - Drivers must notify the Highway Division Manager or Supervisor when leaving and returning to their vehicles for meals or relief. - Instruct operating personnel, if at all possible, to curtail “breaks” until all roadways are at least opened. - Report all damages to private property immediately to the Highway Division Manager or Supervisor to facilitate processing of claims by the Town. - Extend proper courtesy to all citizens and refer them to the Highway Garage Office when demands are unreasonable. - Drivers familiarize themselves with special instructions to avoid missing streets, inadvertently piling snow in front of garages and exits and widening of comers which require special attention.
