> large fleet I order to avoid having a small fleet

The large fleet is “2,230 general collection trucks, 275 specialized collection trucks, 450 street sweepers, 365 snowplows, 298 front end loaders, and 2,360 support vehicles” [1]. Those general collection trucks, together with the plows, constitute a circa 2,300-plow snow fleet [2].

Dedicated fleet means buying 2,000 more snowplows. There is no small fleet option.
