I feel a little foolish bothering you guys with this question so I apologize for my lack of knowledge... I want to try and sign up as many people as possible on seasonal contracts for plowing driveways here in town next year. All driveways in question are small ( 2 car wide, 4-6 cars deep)sidewalks to shovel and maybe throw some salt if they want. I have a truck with a 7.5 ft plow, a 2-stage blower, and an atv with a 48 in blade. I will use whatever is most productive in each drive. This is a just starting up type of deal but I have plowed some lots and bigger drives for the past 6 years. I do not have the money for a backup truck or I would try to get parking lots right off the bat. My goal is to start small and grow into the bigger stuff. My actual question is about pricing these small drives. I did use the search feature and see that a "regular" drive should be about $20 per plow, shoveling $10 per time ,and salting $15 per time. Are these drives i'm talking about "regular" or will I need to charge less? When you add it all up and figure for a season it seems like a lot! Any thoughts would be appreciated and sorry for the long thread.
