Massachusetts towns paying snowplow drivers up to $310 an hour amid shortage Anyone with the equipment to plow snow could make some serious money this winter. Quoting: READ MY LIPS, FUCK YOUR VAXXES It was tough to find snowplow drivers last winter, and this year is no different. Towns around Massachusetts are offering high hourly rates for drivers with a commercial license. Watertown is paying up to $200 for plow drivers with a commercial license, and the rates increase to $310 for those with specialized equipment. Worcester and Lowell are paying up to $155 an hour, and Sandwich is offering up to $135. Chelmsford is paying up to $110, and even MassDOT is looking for drivers, though offering a lower rate of $31.25, NBC10 Boston reported. Last year, the shortage of snowplow drivers was predicted to impact storm response. Boston.com reported in December that state Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack said “some major roads may have only one lane open for travel” during the heaviest periods of snowfall. At the time, it was largely due to work absences from COVID-19 infection and quarantine but this winter it seems a little more complicated. [link to www.boston.com (secure)] Where do I sign up?

Massachusetts towns paying snowplow drivers up to $310 an hour amid shortage This is for independent contractors. Most people on the plow forums are saying that isn't enough. They are paying 10's of thousands per season for insurance on the east coast. Couple that with the fact that plowing roads is extremely hard on equipment/cutting edges compared to lots there still isn't much room for profit. I run 3 newer/low mile trucks and 2 bobcats in the Chicago area. Maintenance doing 1-4 acre lots is $1000's per season if nothing breaks. I wouldn't take them up on that either if I was working in that area. Ericmp1989 |

These people are offering 310 to do highways which is 10 times the wear and tear and you need class 8 trucks to do it (highway plows, minimum 10'). The cost to set up a plow on a class 8 truck today is between 18 and 22 grand. Simply put, it's not even close to enough if it's your own equipment. |

Massachusetts towns paying snowplow drivers up to $310 an hour amid shortage Happened last year after 4 years of Trump. They won't find enough people. A few bad storms could really decimate certain areas. Here's the deal, everyone wants to act like the money godhead Trump business savvy pro. Especially in Massachusetts. There is very little respect for real work. People are not encouraged to do it and are not supported. Either you go to college or you can sell drugs or pimp women. I got stalked threatened and fired (service industry) by crazy drug addicts. No one supported me. So I told them build more morgues, because obviously the state is not welcoming to earnest blue collar workers. |

It's a family thing and they mostly fix their trucks or have a close friend work on them. MA has laws about requiring Women and Minorities to be a specific percentage of the work force. So at her husbands union job they have spots that stay open all the time. They figure being a women run business they will get into that advantage filling that gap.
