Im new to this forum , been reading all these threads this week while we have been getting record snowfall here in s.e. wisconsin. I have plowed the last 6years but sold my truck this year! I didnt do much plowing in the past just some drives and one small lot to supplement my regular jobs cut back winter hours.
It has become clear to me that you guys know all the ins and outs of the snowplowing business so i would like to hear your opinions. In an effort to try and actually make some money next year i am thinking of getting another plow truck and doing driveways. Have some questions though...
How do you get the drives? newspaper advertising? door to door? send flyer in the mail?
Should i have a contract?
I am assuming i should have snowplowing insurance right? where do i get it and how much does it cost?
Is it best to send bills once a month?
Do drives usually get salted like lots or do most poeple want just plowing?
Will probably have more questions but thse will do for now. Thankyou for your patience.
