\u2022<\/span> The Plow Guy gets up early, so you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

The snow berms keep getting higher and the snow keeps coming. Though the last few winters have been mild as far as Wyoming winters go, this year seems to be full steam ahead with the snow. And though we\u2019re thankful to have it and know it will make our valley greener in the summer, it sure can be a lot of work to get it off our roads, driveways, and property. That\u2019s where The Plow Guy comes in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

John\u2014The Plow Guy\u2014has been plowing snow professionally for five years, but this is the first year he has gone out on his own to start The Plow Guy (TPG, LLC)\u2014a company dedicated to clearing snow so you can focus on the rest of your to-do list. John\u2019s website (307PlowGuy.com) states: \u201cThe Plow Guy stays up through the wee hours of the night tracking the weather and snowfall so you can rest easy. Whether your destination is for work or for pleasure, we plow the way so you don\u2019t have to.\u201d<\/p>\n

John began plowing on a four-wheeler. He says, \u201cThat\u2019s kind of what got me hooked on plowing snow because it was just a blast on this four-wheeler that I had. It really just started as a hobby . . . but it\u2019s really a lot of fun. . . . There\u2019s instant gratification in terms of what you\u2019re doing and getting handled and it\u2019s just nice to get that good clean scrape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, John uses two primary trucks to plow. He says, \u201cI have a 2003 Chevy with a Boss V-plow, and then I have a 2001 GMC with a SnowDogg plow.\u201d He also adds, \u201cAnd then I have a Hail Mary third plow truck that\u2019s very old, and it\u2019s just a straight blade. But it\u2019s kind of a \u2018if everything else breaks\u2019 kind of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

To get started working with The Plow Guy, you can text him at (307) 368-0467. John will come out to your property and look over the area you want plowed. He takes into account the square footage; hazardous areas, such as ditches and banks; the shape, slope, and curvature of the area; and how far he\u2019ll have to push the snow.\u00a0 <\/span>Then, for a price estimate, John says, \u201cI\u2019ll measure and then I\u2019ll estimate my time, and then use those as the main determining factors.\u201d<\/p>\n

For billing, The Plow Guy has three options. First, he\u2019ll bill you per push. The second, he explains, \u201cI\u2019ll give you 12 pushes at a discounted rate, and then it defaults to the per push rate.\u201d His third and most popular billing option is the \u201cPay per Season.\u201d You pay one time, upfront, for all season long. The season lasts from the first snowfall until May 1. But John adds the caveat, \u201cI\u2019m not going to leave my clients hanging if we get a crazy freak storm in July obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each signed contract will also include a trigger. This trigger would be an agreed upon amount of snowfall that tells John when to come plow. For example, most residential properties have a three-inch trigger. So if the snowstorm leaves three inches or more of snow, you\u2019ll know John will be there bright and early to clear it out of your way.<\/p>\n

I like helping people and making sure they\u2019re not snowed in.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
