You should at all times coop. your legs are so skinny it looks like your ridin a chicken
Manā¦ I have to wash apartments tomorrow in 35 degrees and snow on the ground. O well, 2 more days and itās a 5 month vacation!
Yowza what are you going to be doing with your time?
Take my daughter to school, pick her up, volunteer in the class room and play pickle ball at the YMCA. I pre pay all my bills for 5 months
Must be niceā¦ if you ever wanna drive down and plow snowā¦
You actually get snow being that far south?
Not as much as you guys
Kinda surprised it came this early but I think itās the most weāll see for a bitā¦ hopefully lol
Last year we had a 16 inch snow and a 20 inch snow. Then about 10-13 snows that were 3-6 inches. Last winter kicked my butt
The 6 inches of snow we got last week completely melted then we got a light inch last night. This is the coldest november I can remember.
Been crazy already. I think Iām in for another busy year.
I actually picked up some good pay per push accounts in the last 2 weeks. So now I actually make a little money each snow vs loose lol
Got my first contract check in the mail this morning. Party time!
Wow, plowing is a cutthroat business around here, everyone has a truck, plow, skidsteer and trailer, side by side with a plow, atv with a plow, snow blowers. I really donāt think most of them they carry insurance. Doing residential for 25 a pop, and hacking it all the way. People donāt seem to mind. I guess it is different in every area.
An asphalt guy was telling me he bids plowing a distribution center for the season (think acres of concrete) then prays it doesnāt snow. I asked him if he lost his a** off doing that and he said so far only one bad year. I guess there is money in it, but it has to be slim. Must be different in other areas.
My contract is for a good chunk of money. Iām not really in the same game as the cut throat guys. They canāt get state contracts and places like Walmart wouldnāt even tell them the time of day. We grossed over 120k last winter plowing. Nasty winter!
But Iām in the same boat. I hope it doesnāt snow an inch!
Yeah, the commercial plowing is the only thing that pays around here. But those bids are tight/competitive. The hackers canāt bid them due to the insurance/license issues. Most of the state owned/government property is via sealed bid months in advance, if they donāt have a maintenance crew that does it.
Is it the same there, all the construction/landscape contractors are plowers in the winter? All the teachers are painters and landscapers in the summer? Just wondering if it is different there.
Teachers around here have mowing businesses. Some landscaping guys plow.
Where about are you?
Central PA, in the sticks. Last couple of winters havenāt been bad, but we are overdue according to the old timers.
I live on a hilltop, so lots of drifting here. When it gets bad out Iāll post of pic of my rig in action. Finally got a cab tractor after years of an open station.
I used to plow in western PA and 20 miles over in far Eastern OHIO.We didnāt have a big salt box spreader like @SchertzServicesLLC does, we used bag salt on a tailgate hopper. Went through cases and cases of Pam every season. Good timesā¦Kinda miss it.
