Hop on the bus Emeerald we are taking you to school.<br>First off drop that per hour $hit. You will make no money at all. At that rate you will make $ 500 in 10 hrs plowing. Most of us here make that in 1-2 hrs. In fact if you are in Southern Ct I will pay you that to sub for me. All my bids are rated to make at least 150-175 per hr per truck. Plus deicing services and sidewalks.<br>There is a number of ways to price snow removal, give me a call sometime and I will be glad to go over them with you.<br>860-859-0739<br>Look in the paper, want advertisers or the like, now is a good time to get a sweet deal on a plow. Being that you have a 450, I would look for a boss, they are stout enough to be in front of that truck. I think a 9'2" will be the best size for you.<br>as far a spreaders are concerned, you really need a v box type. Being that you only have 2wd, you will need alot of ballast, and a full v box will give you that. I like the smith industries stainless over electric model. But I also own gas powered models, and they all work good.<br>Again if you have any? please call.<br>Oh yes, please check into www.sima.org<br>If you are serious about plowing, you need to join.<br>Dino <p>----------<br> Professional Ice and Snow Management <br>Products:Services:Equipment www.sima.org
