Default Snow Plow Contracts

I put a limit on my season contracts and it works out the same as if the owner/customer was to pay each time they got a plow the only difference is with that they would for sure get plowed before anyone else that does not have a season contract. Do you think putting a limit on season contracts is a good idea?.

Oh so you mean those who sign up with a contract get like a premium service and are serviced first? Do they pay a premium for the service? Does this contract apply only to snow plowing or is this all year long property maintenance?

Default snow contract

yeah i guess so cause after there limit i drop the per plow price.
what do you think or is it better to give an estimate for the season and not worry about how many plows? its just for snow.

The best way I have seen so far to charge for snow plowing came from a member named hotwired. Read his post snow plowing here and tell me what you think of it.
