I have been reading a lot about plowing 2 or 3 times during a “storm”. One customer didn’t take on a plower from this site because he said he might have to plow 2 or 3 times during a storm and their bill would be over $100.
I plow one time per drive/sidewalk in a 24 hour period. Here is an example.
It snows Monday night 3”. Tuesday a.m. I go out and plow my clients. During the day on Tuesday it snows another 3” from the same “storm”. I go out on Wednesday a.m. and plow my clients. My clients get charged for 2 pushes on the same “storm” but during 2 different days.
Have there been times when I plow twice on Tuesday due to Monday night and Tuesday snow falls over my trigger amount. Yes & No. Some I do because they are seasonal and it would just be easier for me to plow them on Tuesday p.m. and not on Wednesday a.m. The storm is over and I have to do the others that require it only once per 24 hours on Wednesday a.m.
When people talk about plowing 3 times a “storm” is it during a single day or over 2 or 3 days. I understand commercial being different and requiring different standards than a residential driveways.
I guess the question is, how many of your contracts put a limit on how many times in a 24 hour period their driveway will be cleared?
If you plow in the a.m. before the client goes to work and it snows during the day, how many go back to plow that snow away in the afternoon before the client gets home from work? Or do you wait until the next a.m. to clear them out?
