MDOT’s Snow Plows Have New Names!

MDOT’s Snow Plows Have New Names!

January 11, 2022 by GJ Staff Leave a Comment

15,000 name suggestions were received for the Michigan Department of Transportation’s plow naming contest over the past year.  Now all 330 of snowplows have new names for this winter, showcasing Michigan residents’ sense of humor and wit.

Some of the top names include:
Alice Scooper
Gordie Plowe
Kid Rock Salt
Control, Salt, Delete
Mr. Ice Guy
Darth Blader
Han Snowlo
Plowy McPlowface
Blades of Steel
Sir Plows-A-Lot

The naming contest was designed to increase awareness of the men and women behind the wheel clearing the roads, and remind motorists to be safe around the plows.  You can track all the state’s snow plows and check out the name of the plow in your area by going to MDOT’s MiDrive map, clicking on the maintenance vehicle layer in the upper lefthand corner and hovering over the plow icons.
