How to Make a Killing SnowPlowing

What happens here

To maintain a full work schedule and maximize earnings during the snow season, it is crucial to acquire multiple clients rather than relying on just one. The video shows a John Deere 310E backhoe loader (TLB) with a Pro-Tech pusher blade operating at night, illustrating a larger-scale commercial plowing operation. The narrator states that his two TLBs, four skid loaders, and three pickup trucks (totaling nine pieces of equipment) generate $663 per hour combined. He then contrasts this with the $600 per hour earned from the single 'one-off' lot with just one pickup truck, emphasizing that a single profitable small account can generate nearly as much hourly income as a large fleet, before accounting for wages, fuel, and maintenance for multiple operators and equipment.

Goal: Develop a strategy to fill the snow plowing schedule with a mix of highly profitable accounts and efficiently utilize diverse equipment.
