Managing a fleet of vehicles in rugged and diverse environments like those faced by Northwestern Energy, which operates across Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska, requires careful planning and adaptation. Winter preparedness is crucial, with checks on tires, hydraulics, and the use of appropriate vehicles with snow chains being essential from October onwards. Deep snow necessitates the use of track units, requiring precise planning for installation and removal. Different terrains and tasks demand specialized off-road equipment, ranging from UTVs to snowmobiles and snowcats. Frequent tire changes are unavoidable due to the harsh conditions, and specific tire types are crucial for optimal performance. Finally, company policy emphasizes the use of professional towing services rather than employee self-towing to minimize potential damage in case of breakdowns.
