How many snow plows does Dubois, PA need?
That is Dubois, PA’s call: it depends on how soon the town wants every street clear, and on the trucks and drivers it has. This page models Dubois, PA with fleets of 1 to 6 trucks from one depot, using an assumed truck rather than the town’s own. Adding trucks mostly shortens the shift, while total blade-up changes far less; each run gives its modelled hours. The sensitivity analysis shows how fleet size moves them.
