I don't think I will ever fully understand how until I try it for myself. With the price of gas/fuel and the cost of maintenance, I just don't understand how a guy can make a dime plowing. Obviously there is money involved as MANY people do it in the winter, but I just cant see it.
So whats first on your list, a 6" and 37's or motor/tranny work?

Most of my **** is off the books as well and I get alot of calls to come push people out and of course I must "fix" my prices. 
I'm looking for a tuner prob getting a smarty and an exhaust leveling kit and call it good... but I would really like 4" and 36" OHHHHHH if I still had the $ I dumped into my 2nd gen. I still have that truck for now.
Keep in mind I do work 2 jobs and soon to be 3... there all part time but 1 is off the books. Day nights and weekends hell I havent had a weekend off since jan

I sub contract at $50/hr and bid for my own contracts at $65/hr. Driveways are a starting price of $30 in city and $40 outside city. But even still my truck costs MAYBE $6/hr to run. And even after that and the maintenance budget I'm still bringing home ~$30/hr. Not too bad.
Sweet truck though, what kind of plow you run?
P.S. Flip down your tow mirrors.
$100/hr? Holy hell! You're in a good region for plowing.
