wondering what everyone is paying guys just to shovel.

First off if you can find a kid that is willing to shovel then you are doing great. It is hard enough finding one to sit on a lawn mower. I pay drivers in my trucks $25/hr and shoveling has to be worth more then that with their truck with blower, shovels and spreader. $30 to $35 is more like it for someone more responsible then a kid.

when I shoveled I got $15 an hour this year im plowing for the same company. I was told they pay $20-25 an hour for plowing but in their equipment. I dont know how much for my own equipment. If its for that little next year ill be plowing for someone else or on my own
