New Accounts

[n y snow pros]

We just landed our biggest account which is The Gap distribution center in Dutchess County N.Y.We have been working for over a 18 months to get this account.To give an idea of the size of this facility it is the 3rd largest free standing building in the world.It takes up 3 million square feet,and has over 800 trailer doors and there still making it bigger.I have taken alot of knowledge from this forum and it has helped us along in one way or another in securing accounts like this,so thanks everyone for all your ideas and experiences.We now officially do over a million dollars in snow removal,once again a million thanks for all the great ideas taken from this forum. <p>----------<br>J PARKER<br>914-485-4200

Congrats & good luck with the account! I've heard about that building. I also have an aunt & uncle up there in Pleasant Valley and love that area.

Congraulations - that is quite an accomplishment and I suspect a little scary at the same time!<p>I also find it a testiment to the forum as well - a sharing of ideas. Would you share any of the process you went through and what your criteria was for pricing a job that big?<p>I was once told that the &quot;Mall of America&quot; uses over 100 pieces of equipment to keep their lot clean.<p>Good Luck!<p>Bill Nero<p>----------<br>Bill Nero<br>CPW

Thanks for all the replys.To answer your question John there will be 5 loaders,24ft pusher boxes 2 pull plows and 2 sanders.Dosent sound like much but that equipment combined with a 3500 gallon liquid Magic tanker truck will keep Mother Nature at bay.<p>----------<br>J PARKER<br>914-485-4200
