Chances are that the main thoroughfares are plowed by the big
trucks; small highways are plowed by big and small dumptrucks, and
most residential streets are plowed by pickups and small dumptrucks.
However, the big trucks tend to have more consistent ability to see;
the small dumptrucks and pickups can see more with clear glass, but
the snow and water flies up off the plow onto the windshield and
side windows (and mirrors), creating the zero visibility condition I
described in my previous message.
And, as mentioned by somebody else, the drivers are often plowing
all night and day, and are likely to be excessively tired. I always
switch to a relief driver when I get too tired, but most drivers
I've met, it seems, don't.
