If any one ever need a hand on a just salt night then i have a 5 yrd dump salter out for hire.....

i normally just take the dump truck out for my salt route but if someone was in need of some help then i could send my pick-up out to do my route and help you with the dump.....Or the other way around iif you have a small route that could be done with a v-box then i could send that out and just use thhe dump for my route.

rates would be determaned by how much windshield time i had between sites.

im pretty much packed on plow nights.


give me a call......cell 734-260-2203

That is great. I am plowing Plymouth Green offices at 23 & Plymouth for WH Canon. Trying to get a vbox so I can salt too. What are the Hours for Wolverine? Are they not there at night when the precip is falling?

Dexter eh? That is right by me.

[wickedcarpenter]

Here's the Address and phone number.5475 S.State Rd (734)665-7782
I'd call yourself to confirm the Hr's during storms or Holidays. 2 years ago we plowed on Christmas Eve night through Christmas day and i don't think they were open.Last year prices on a yard of salt was $60.00
After the sorry snowfall we had last year i hope we get 2" a day for 60 days straight!Hell i'd do Bass Tournaments all summer

Hope everyone has a happy,safe and trouble free season!
