I do lawn and landscape and have systematically turned down all requests to bid on snow and salt. The thing is, I live in Southern Ohio and snowfall is quite marginal some years. This is this first real winter in a long time for my area.
I like to do other things in the winter and really didn't want to be held hostage everytime snow was in the forcast.
Thing is, when I add up what I've turned down, it's starting to look more attractive. The only suitable truck I have for this is a 1 ton dually dump truck (Ford F350). My question is how are these trucks at plowing snow? I really don't intend on buying a 4 wheel drive just to get into snow removal. Right now this truck seem fine if there is some weight in the bed but I've never had a plow on it and certainly have never pushed snow with it.
Thanks for all you're replies!
