All winter long we have noticed a lot of extra salt on one of our properties, now we know why.

It's funny that down here in Texas where it rarely gets super cold, we don't know how to drive on ice either. Of course, we are ill-equipped to deal with snow/ice removal and such, but we catch a lot of flack about not being able to drive/walk on ice. I've been in the far northern parts of Russia and Finland and can tell you, I've yet to meet anyone who can drive/walk on ice. Just not humanly possible. I do love your videos. Especially the last one when you handled the homeowner who came out cussing at you. You did the right thing. You called him out on it and didn't tolerate it. To his credit, he backed down and apologized (which is exactly what he should have done). Anyway, hats off to your guys. You work hard and do your job with excellence and skill. Inspiring.

Dang Rick, you need a salt scooper! I know you have a glove on but even that sometimes dries your hands out or spreads salt if you touch anything in the truck. A scooper makes easy work for sidewalks.

That’s funny, usually someone would be saying “who’s stealing our salt”, instead you’re getting the “who’s giving us salt?” It begs the question though…. how is it possible the place he was SUPPOSED to do, hadn’t complained? If you were paying for salting and you’d had at least 2 ice storms…. most people are pretty damn vocal about that. Guess it’s a good thing there were no names named. 😆😜👍🏼☮️

@Eric_Olsen6 ай бұрын
this is why you rent a 15 passenger van or get a bus whatever you have to do and take every employee who will be operating your trucks for all your contracts have the site address and have detailed of what needs to be done on each site prior to winter season. If you bring on new hires during the season you then bring the new hires to all the sites as needed. I would get info from the other guys company and figure out how many times he did your site and figure out about how much material was used based on the settings and offer 65% of however many tons of salt used the competitor will have to eat 35% of the salt cost plus fuel and labor. If only a onetime mistake then yes I might have the competitor eat 100% or I might do a one time salting of the property they were supposed to go to if similar sized.
