So i pulled up and asked the guys if they wanted me to make a pass ( u shaped Drive) and they said it was OK they could get it, and then the chief looked over and saw me so i asked him and he took me right up on the offer and yelled at all the guys to get the hell outta the way i was coming thru. So I made one pass thru and chief thanked me again as i pulled out, now i tell that story to customers when i explain to them there safety is one of the reasons I plow with a storm and in deeper snows they will be plowed twice.
Great story ! and selling point to keep their driveway's clear..

Thanks ! I'm going to use that story to sell my next resi....







BTW..... Bucks County is one of my favorite places to visit....... Beer and Pizza at Fran's Tavern afterwords.......

Occasionally help someone out with a drift at the end of their drive. A couple relatives are on the free list although they seem to be the most demanding customers. I yanked a water department guy out two years ago saw him while i was driving by around 6 at night day after the storm he thanked me and said no one else was in the office they had all gone home so he was alone if i didnt help him. Feels good to help out someone and hope they would do the same for you.
