I know a lot of guys who plow with out contracts. I will not plow with out a contract and don't recomend it. One thing i will recomend which is kinda a bid/ contract agreement is this. Others in this conference have complained about not getting jobs, and having other companies take them. This is what i do, when someone signs a contract for the year this is what they get. I will plow/ sand and salt their lot for the season for X amount of cost. If they sell the property they must pay the balance for the remainder of the season. I tell them, that they can put the cost of snow removel right into the cost of selling the property. It works out great, the new owner has a contractor to plow, i keep my property, i get my money, and everyone is happy. I have only had a property sold mid season once in 10 years.<p>Geoff
