The shop at Helena headquarters receives all new vehicles and equipment. It is also where MDT employees fabricate specialized equipment and assembles snowplow trucks used to clear Montana roadways in winter. Fabricating snow plows is technical but very cost effective due to the skill of our well-trained staff.
