Title:

Winter Equipment Committee's Survey of Equipment Operators

Abstract:

The Iowa DOT Winter Equipment Committee, with support from the Office of Maintenance, conducted a survey of all equipment operators in April of 2005 as part of an effort to review the performance of equipment being used. This report summarizes the Committee's work on reviewing the findings and presents the overall results for each item of the survey. Findings are presented by overall equipment performance areas addressed in the survey, ranked by the reported need for improvement. The top five areas were: cab environment, truck liquid systems, wings, front plow and spreader.
