Often times the guys that drive the salt trucks and plows during the winter are either road workers (repairing potholes, paving streets, painting lines, etc) during the rest of the year or landscapers (planting trees, mowing grass, etc). I drove a plow/salter for 6 years during snowstorms, the rest of the time I was spraying pesticides on lawns and trees for insects and weeds. :-)

They dehydrate sea water to get the salt.

Someone has to lean on the shovels and chat looking in the hole in the road.
