  • We Are NOT a PLOWING BUSINESS!

    We've received about 2' of snow here in the last 10 days, with 6'' coming over the weekend.

    That means, for those of you out there who've neglected to do ANY shoveling/clearing, your sloth has finally caught up with you and now you can't get out of your driveway.

    That's a YOU problem, not an US problem.

    DO NOT CALL US TO TOW YOU OUT!

    If YOU can't get OUT, what makes you think WE can get IN?! Especially if you consider these trucks are WIDER, TALLER and LONGER than the little mouse-holes you gnawed through the sides of that Fortress of Solitude-like ice wall that really is the end of your driveway, your very LONG driveway..... 300 YARDS OF UNCLEARED DRIVEWAY in one case..... Oh, and did I mention, we DO NOT have 4x4 on these trucks? Except for one, which in bad weather is held in reserve anyway since you never know when the police are going to call you to winch out yet another moron in a Honda Civic who ignored the "NO WINTER MAINTENENCE" sign at 1000 block of Buck Valley Road, and are now stranded at about the 1100 block of said road?

    Can't tell you how many calls we've had to turn down/cancel upon learning, either over the phone, or more likely, in PERSON when we get there, that the car was NOT reachable without a plowing first, and that's NOT a service we offer, call us back when we can get to you.

    P.S. I don't care if you'll be late to work, you're making me late to help people who actually DID some work and shoveled themselves out before realizing they had a dead battery...

    And one more thing, this is Central Pennsylvania, unless you just moved here, the fact that it will continue to snow until at least April Fools Day shouldn't be news to you. There's NO excuse for not doing SOMETHING when it at least got ankle-deep before Valentines Day.

    I have to shake my head in disbelief at the morons who should act accordingly in winter weather. I live in Central Pa & you know it can snow all the way till the end of May & that's when it gets HOT. Winter to Summer without a hint of Spring....LOL!

      Heh. Interesting, since I've seen people at the grocery story buying 300 bucks worth of food, thinking they were going to be snowed in, and then the snow came, and the streets were plowed and salted long before they had to be at work. I mean come on, we're in northeastern OH, just west of the PA border; our city is prepared for the snow.

      Wishful thinking, maybe?

        It's $115 for a tow, correct? Wouldn't it be a helluva lot cheaper to pay someone to, you know, PLOW the driveway? You could even have a conversation with the neighbors and see if someone would plow the drive for $20-$40. Yikes.

          If you need your driveway plowed, call Klondike-5-3226, for Mister Plow. That's his name, that name again, is Mister Plow.

                I think that if I lived in a place that got, y'know, SNOW, I'd invest in a snowblower.

                  Mr. Plow is a loser and I think he is a boozer. So you'd better make that call to the Plow King.

                        If you can get your driveway plowed for $20-40, I want to live where you live. I live in a townhouse with a driveway one car wide and three cars long. It's $45 for small snowfalls and $65 for large snowfalls. I am broke this year but am disabled and can't do it myself. But I did hire someone rather than calling a tow truck. What idiots.

                          I always think it's hilarious to see the throngs of people buying massive amounts of groceries when the weather is about to turn sinister; I mean, even if it IS a huge, road-and-business-closing storm-of-the-millennium, just how long do they think they're going to be snowed in? A day? 3 days? Definitely NOT $300 worth of groceries (unless it's all beer and chocolate, in which case I can see needing that much).

                            A service in my neck of the woods charges $50 for driveway plowing.
                            I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!
