Services we provide in Wilkes-Barre
Local conditions
Wilkes-Barre's geography and weather patterns factor directly into route planning.
Wilkes-Barre sits in the Wyoming Valley along the Susquehanna River, flanked by ridges of the Pocono Plateau that wring extra snow out of passing systems compared with the Piedmont cities farther south. Its former coal-mining neighborhoods like Parsons and Miners' Mills were built on steep hillside grades, making secondary-street plowing and ice control more technical than in flatter Pennsylvania cities. The Cross Valley Expressway (PA 309) and I-81 corridor can see distinct microclimates, with valley-floor sections icing from cold-air pooling even when the surrounding ridgetops are clear.
We regularly service routes near I-81, PA Route 309 (Cross Valley Expressway), PA Route 115, North/South Main Street.
