The City of Royal Oak Department of Public Services (DPS) is excited to introduce its newest vehicle – a John Deere 624L Front End Loader.
This machine does TONS of work for the city. In addition to loading an average of 3000 TONS of salt each year, it’s also the frontline workhorse of the department’s leaf collection efforts, handling an average 10,000 TONS each fall.
Right now we call it #292, but given all the heavy lifting it does, we think it deserves a proper name, don’t you?
Get your creativity flowing and send us your name suggestion for our newest vehicle!
