"Road"-eo tests plow drivers skills in Vermont


(Anya Huneke, NECN: Colchester, VT) - It was a rodeo, Vermont style. Instead of bucking broncos, there were beeping plow trucks.

This was a test of speed and finesse, with the top talents in the field showing off their skills, and their ability to handle challenging situations.

At the Vermont transportation department's Colchester facility Wednesday, road crews maneuvered plow trucks through an obstacle course-- of cones and barrels.

It's an annual event - dubbed not a rodeo but a "road"-eo-- designed to be both a training exercise and a competition for V-trans employees.
