Best way is to find a guy with a company and accounts setup. They pay ~$75 an hour if you provide a truck, and usually over $100 if you have a salter as well. It's too late to try and round up accounts now...Anyone that needs snow-removal already has someone on contract to do it. ALL my buddies do it, and I do it on occasion. It's easy to clear 1000-1200 in one decent snowfall if you're with a company with enough accounts. All my buddies will go out and be out for 16+ hours at a time.

But a grand per snowfall would be average if you have enough work lined up. Need a snowfall like tonight where it snows all night...So you usually go back to the first places you plowed and clean them up again a few hours later.

When I use to plow with my uncle, we would do personal driveways/sidewalks. $30 per drive and we would make about $1,000-2,000 a night. did a few small businesses and usually get anywhere from $75-150 each time you plow it. you can easily make $2k per snow fall. last year my buddy made $5k total and it didnt snow much at all last year. He gets paid $60 an hour providing his own truck.



Shinagami, not sure what it will fit on. I knwo the mounts can be fitted to any pickup with some minor fabrication im told. or find the correct mount for your vehicle and be done with it.
