Snow was piling up — but snoozing plow man Barry Delisle’s orders were: Don’t move!
Delisle, caught on camera catching some Z’s behind the wheel of his plow-fitted garbage truck as a blizzard socked the city, had been told to stay with his snowbound vehicle overnight, his bosses claim.
But other vehicles easily drove right by as Delisle, 47, slept, his truck uselessly sidelined for nearly his entire shift.
Delisle started a planned 12-hour shift at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Sanitation garage on 122nd Street in College Point.
At the height of the storm, Delisle’s truck became snowed in on 14th Avenue between 150th and 149th streets in Whitestone, the Sanitation Department claims.
Delisle called his dispatcher and was ordered to stay with the truck until help came, a Sanitation spokesman said.
So Delisle stayed put all Sunday night and Monday morning, waiting for a tow.
