Ok up here in maine in about the last two weeks we have had about 14 to 18 inches of snow. So after the last storm we had the two big loaders out at some lots pushing the snow back. The loaders can stack snow a lot higher than a truck. Anyways we had completed one of the lots and was driving by one of our smaller ones. I had the loader just push the pile up a little higher and back a little further. Anyways i was sitting in my truck ready to clean up any mess left over, then the manager came out. He asked if he was going to be charged for this, anyways i figure in the bids have to do this once and a while. <p>Anyways i told him i wasn't going to charge him. Do you guys charge extra to move the snow around, if you have it figured into the bids? I will bill out if i have to haul the snow away, thats billed by the hour, or if we have a blizzard and there is 18"+ and every lot needs a loader. Only all little push backs, i figure into the bid. Moving the snow back, allows for easier plowing and less wear and tear on the truck.<p>So what do you guys do?<p>Also do you move the snow to make room for the next storm? Or do you wait one more storm and move it after that?<p>Geoff<br>
