How many snow plows does River Edge, NJ need?
That is River Edge, NJ’s call: it depends on how soon the town wants every street clear, and on the trucks and drivers it has. This page models River Edge, NJ with fleets of 1 to 6 trucks from one depot, using an assumed truck rather than the town’s own.
