Hey, PennDOT, where's my plow?
PennDOT’s plow trucks are equipped with Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) systems, which use in-truck technology to log and share data in real-time for that truck.
The routes of these interstate and expressway trucks can be viewed in real-time at www.511PA.com
At the top of the 511 PA page, select a region; and on the left, check "PennDOT Plow Trucks" https://www.511pa.com
The AVL unit in each truck sends a cellular signal through the system showing where a truck is located and whether or how much material is being spread from the truck.
PennDOT uses AVL to:
- Monitor vehicle movement and plow-route coverage;
- Monitor the system during winter storms or emergencies and, if needed, see the closest truck to an area that needs additional service and direct trucks to that location;
- Review data on effectiveness in returning traffic to pre-storm conditions;
- Review usage of materials such as salt and anti-skid through the various stages of a weather event; and
- Interface with other department technology to combine real-time weather and road conditions with corresponding material-usage rates.

Mistakes happen... Mailboxes and Snow Removal
Each year the Township schedules a preliminary run of Snow Routes to identify obstacles and areas of concern for truck operators. This allows our truck operators to identify mailboxes that stand in the way of the snow plow. Postcards are mailed annually to residents to alert them to the potential problem.
Cranberry Township repairs or replaces only a mailbox and/or post that is actually struck by the plow blade; according to adopted Snow and Ice Control Plan Section I.B.7. Usually a paint mark or truck tire tracks supply evidence of a mailbox strike.
Cranberry Township does not repair or replace mailboxes and/or posts that fall from the force of plowed snow.
Mailboxes and supporting posts must be installed to withstand the rigors of snow removal, including the force of snow pushed from the street onto the roadside.
Contact Customer Service at 724-776-4806 Option 3 to report a plow damaged mailbox. A Public Works representative will investigate.
