Bingo!!!!!! I cant stand the thought of all of us lining there pockets in an industry where they don't even own plows!!!!!!!!

SMS isn't bAd. No experience with landscaping but plowing has been fine. 3 inches you bang everything twice and make an average of about 400 per unit. Two service 1's on average of about 225 it's more like 450 a unit. I do about 8 Walgreens and 4 public storage. That's 5400. Running a 2.5 poly caster so Milk the whole load and maybe load up twice depending on the storm. Still great money for 4 hours of work

Thank God for the unqualified.

True, and i'll never go to bat for USM but walmart is an even crappier company and the contract stipulations between them in 2010-2011 were predominately walmarts fault, not usms... they wanted cheap service and usm tried to offer it but fell short.
