What it’s really like driving a snow plow in Champaign

Snow plow drivers in Champaign County barely sleep when winter storms hit—they’re out before the first flakes fall, pre-treating lots and prepping for hours of plowing. Ryan Millikan, who runs a local masonry business, says dodging parked cars and frozen windshields is just part of the job. The real challenge? Navigating around folks who venture out and leave their cars in the way. Clearing roads is a team effort, and the best way to help is to stay home or give plows plenty of space if you must drive.
