How I bid Snowplowing TO ALWAYS MAKES MONEY

What happens here

The presenter explains the advantages of being a subcontractor for snow removal, especially on large sites (e.g., a 1.6 million sq ft complex). As a subcontractor, he is only responsible for snow removal, avoiding managerial nightmares like salting, sidewalks, phone calls for slip-and-falls, and complaints. He acknowledges that this means giving up a portion of the profits to the prime contractor who handles these responsibilities. He demonstrates loading the snow pushers onto the trailer.

Goal: Evaluate the subcontractor model for snow plowing.
