How high-tech trucks are reducing risk for road crews in Pa.

As Pennsylvania heads into construction season, and work zone safety month comes to a close this April, David Gemmill highlights the technology he uses to keep his crews safe.  The company specializes in pavement work.

To make matters more dangerous, many of the jobs happen at night along busy roadways. That's not the case for Gemmill and his crews. lancasteronline.com/podcasts
