What do you charge? The contractors the city of st.albert hires haven't the slightest clue how to remove snow properly....

Cash deal I am thinking 75/hr. and depending how far I have to drive there will be 50 charge. I am not hauling the snow away but must need a place to pile it.

Why charge less than $100? Undercutting the guys trying to make a living??

yes but for that 100/hr you get liability insurance and wcb, which is what i charge (roughly). good piece of mind for 25/hr extra

I charge 100 and would not go less I would stay in bed for less. I have done snow for st albert since 07 and since everybody under cut I stop doing there contract last two yrs. Plus I cant keep up with what I have, I agree depends on size and condition of machine.

who says i dont have insurance or wcb,,,,

i apologize, just when people say for cash or extra cash it usually for beer money, thus no wcb and insurance (proper wcb and insurance for mobile equpment operation). i have picked up a few customers this year just cus the guys doing it for beer money couldnt provide the level of service i provide.

and i know there are a lot of driveways that need to be plowed in your area, i have turned down many as its outside my profit area

Have seen this exact senario far to many times.....almost anyone can drive a skid steer, but operating it properly it takes practice....

Boots if your a good operator and have the appropriate coverage, charge the going rate, makes it harder for the next guy after you go back to your day job.
Be the same in your given trade, you wouldnt want a guy popping in and under cutting in your trade.
