Chief
I plowed snow in the past. Here is what I found, this winter we only had snow in February. If you are doing parking lots they have to be clean when customers and workers arrive in the morning, this limits how many you can do. If it is snowing all night they have to be plowed just before the people arrive. If you plow to early they will be snowed in again. I got my work by word of mouth many advertise and will do contracts. I found that people would wait until they couldn't get a bulldozer down the drive then they would call to get it plowed. It is hard on equipment and I don't think it is worth buying a truck just to plow snow. It is nice to have a truck, just get in turn on the heater and radio and drive away. The best I made out was plowing drives for the little old ladies in the neighborhood, I didn't charge them, did it when I had time and they would make me apple pies for payment. They either died or moved away so I didn't get a plow for my new truck. I now use a Loftnes snow blower on a MF 135. Colder but the lady of the house appreciates it.
