Fast Snow Removal

About Fast Snow Removal

The bridges over the Souris River carry most of Minot's morning traffic between the north and south sides of town, and Fast Snow Removal times its route to have the approach driveways clear before that crossing gets busy. Speed here means an efficient order of streets, not a rushed blade, so the truck runs a planned loop instead of backtracking across town. Driveways get one full pass, edge to edge, with a second look at any spot where the plow's own pile might block a mailbox or a trash bin on collection day. Sidewalks get shoveled immediately after, while the crew is still on-site, rather than scheduled as a separate stop later. Commercial entrances near the bridge approaches get priority, since a blocked or icy entrance there backs up more than one business. The route behind them is finished well before Minot's early shift crosses the river to work.
