I used to plow snow for the X shop rite and the X mall...Not that this relates to you per-say, but I found it pretty ridiculous....it worked like this....The second it starts snowing, we started plowing...we continued plowing the lot, non stopped (unless the truck had to be refueled) until the snow stopped....then another couple hours after that to make the lot so dry you could walk around in flip flops. So a storm like yesterday...We would have probably started at around midnight, plowed non-stopped until maybe 6-7pm...So maybe about 18 hours of plowing...I drove 1 F-350 dump truck that billed $60 an hour...There were 4 of those, 1 backhoe at $250 and hour, and one giant front end loader to move the piles at $600 an hour. So the math was absolutely mind blowing considering the the dam stores weren't even open. 30 hours was my record driving that dump truck around in a parking lot, no stops other than to get more diesel.

Given the store name you are involved with and the fact that they probably stayed open during the storm? OUCH man. Oh of course add in the fact that we have gotten shit for snow this year and the guys will need to bill for the $75,000 dump trucks + plows that have been sitting around doing nothing all winter.

So we have a great track record of paying on time. Primarily because it's a good lever to keep business honest and expedite service. However recently we decided to up our "vendor accountability" game which has been non existent. I guess there was no game, lol. We will not nickel and dime anyone for oversight of contracts on our end but we also don't want to be taken to the bank.

Here in North Brunswick we got 6-8" total of the Heaviest snow I've ever had the displeasure of shoveling. We had about 4-5 inches of "normal" snow fall between midnight and 7 am, them the freezing rain came and made things....difficult. Wintery mix from 10 till about 2 then light snow till 4:30-5.
