    I know it's the middle of the summer but we just got the RFP on this... A little back story... I past on bidding this last year because I figured that my 2014 F250 with a 8'2" Boss Power VXT wasn't going to be enough. Turns our the guy who ended up doing it had almost identical equipment (just...

    If I were to do this parking lot with just my F250 with a Boss 8'2" V plow, How long should this take? I would have the option of having the big boys coming in with the heavy equipment if it was a very large snowfall. At what point would you suggest I use the big boys? 6", 8", 12", etc?

    I just bought a new Boss V plow, its a 8'2" poly VXT. I only have experience with an old Western straight blade and that was many years ago. So I need some help bidding these 3 commercial lots. How long should these take me to push with different depths of snow? The first is my church, the...

  15. Bidding & Estimating
    I am trying to attract a few more clients to pay for the year up front, I would like to get about 50% of our clients to pay for the year in advance. How do you guys get people to do this? My thought is that I will send out letters and include the price per event and price for the season but...

    Do any of you have a generic formula you use to figure out how much time it will take you to do a certain amount of square footage? This would be mostly for driveways and small lots or roadways. We have snow blown in the past and price driveways based on how many cars fit in it. I think I will...

    Have a contact @ commercial property in New Brunswick, NJ that is taking bids on snow removal/salting for '13-'14 season (all drive, no walks). Let me know if you or someone you know can handle it and can quote it out seasonally.

    This will be my first year providing snow removal as a service. My area is very unique in that over half of the home are summer homes. I have been approached by several of my lawn service accounts asking about keeping the driveways cleared and a path to the front door so the place looks occupied...

    Up to this point I've always bid contracts on a per push basis, which has worked fine until last season when the snow never came. No snow no dough. This year I'm trying to get a mix of per push and seasonal contracts together so I can have a more balanced cash flow. I have been asked to send a...
