I get a minimum of $125/hr as well for just a straight blade unless I am subbing for someone else after I'm done with mine.

Hopefully if this winter doesn't give us much snow we will have a lot of lawn care and plow companies go under. I'd love to pick up more work at more $$$ next year because all these people went out of business. Even though I have a brand new truck and plow I'll be able to make it threw the winter even if it doesn't snow one more inch, just hope this isn't true for lowballers and sloppy subs.

how much work are you getting at $125? In my market I don't see many getting these prices. Different area, different prices i understand.

That's the big difference I think that some guys are having trouble with.... 125 is a sweet price no matter what but equipment makes a huge different in rate. The guy with a wideout is almost always going to plow faster than the guy with with the 7.5 straight blade to the point that paying him 20 - 30 an hr more your still going to come out ahead. Especially since chances are he is more experienced aswell.
