In Virginia they get to the office when it first starts snowing to prepare. They have to put the salt spreaders and plows on, so by the time it is difficult to drive they are there already. However, some people do come to releave them or just get there late and they usaully have 4x4 trucks and in some case they live in the area, so the snow plow drivers just pick them up.

Depends on the region. In some Illinois cities, a crew is on alert when a snowstorm is forecast. The crew will be staged at an office/lodging building that has the plows there already.

I have known at least three such drivers over the years. Each was from a different state and each had a different method.
One was always put on call and called in as the snow storm started. He helped prepare the trucks with salt or salt/cinder mix. He just drive his pickup truck or car to work.
One was a veteran driver who was not required to arrive as early, but this was still at least one hour before the trucks were sent out. He drove to work in a 4 wheeled drive truck with sandbags in the truck bed and chains on the wheels.
The last was a part-time relief driver. He lived out of town a short distance and when called in usually took a snowmobile to work.
