00:01:11
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:01:15
RICK JAMES
God forbid we do something early. you know
00:01:36
RICK JAMES
So they're going pro or they get drafted. What's going on?
00:01:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah You would think, dude, yeah, you would really think with what they put these kids through, like the week of drama that goes into this, you you would think it's like for the pros and shit. Like these are combo pro combines. I'm like, are kidding me?
00:01:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
But it's it's a lot about the money, I'll tell you that.
00:01:53
RICK JAMES
about the money. It's all about the money.
00:01:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's ah it's definitely got to be a lot about the money. But how was your week?
00:02:02
RICK JAMES
ah Uneventful. Yeah.
00:02:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah?
00:02:05
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:02:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
No snow?
00:02:07
RICK JAMES
No snow. I should have probably went to Connex.
00:02:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
You definitely should have gone to Connex God At least you could have I couldn't have least you could have gone Vegas baby
00:02:10
RICK JAMES
Didn't work out. Yeah. So.
00:02:16
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:02:19
RICK JAMES
Yeah. You know, talk about every three years, but maybe some year it'll work out.
00:02:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah you could have done it though but yeah the flights were ridiculous right that was definitely uh it was like 17 000 for a flight you could have you could have bought a plane cheaper than one flight on out there holy crap ridiculous i remember thinking like yeah you know what we got a couple salting events going on but you know let me see maybe i no no no i can't do it for those prices it was ridiculous
00:02:30
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:02:37
RICK JAMES
Yeah, it was ridiculous.
00:02:50
RICK JAMES
Yeah, no, it would have been fun.
00:02:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
It definitely would have been fun, man. but So what do you think? We done? Winter's over now?
Weather Speculations and Mega Storm Fernando
00:02:59
RICK JAMES
Ah, you think it's done to you. I mean, I i don't know. They're talking snow. We got a few chances, of three or four chances this week coming up. So I don't know. I mean, I'd be fine with it being over. I'm um'm ready to move on.
00:03:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
The only, well, I think we're done. i do think we're done finally, but I'm not going to stick a fork in it yet because these winters for us to that start early, we generally are not safe until after that Patty's Day to like the 20th.
00:03:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
like that that Once I get to like the 23rd, 24th of March and we you know we get to that point, I think we're we're totally in the clear.
00:03:30
RICK JAMES
Oh yeah.
00:03:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
But that 16th to the 20th period of time always seems to be a popular time to to have one of those, oh, yeah, you can get a little dusting to two. And then, oh, oh, oh by the way.
00:03:54
RICK JAMES
ah yeah
00:03:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, it jumped up a notch. It definitely, ah they they have a habit of doing that.
00:04:03
RICK JAMES
me Granted, we could probably just start washing our stuff, putting stuff away, and then it always fucking snows. So, i mean, that's usually what happens. so
00:04:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's always the kiss of death, dude, especially the salters. Like, yeah, you pull a salter out of a truck.
00:04:13
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:04:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, no, we're good. We're good. Boom. Done.
00:04:17
RICK JAMES
Yeah, we got hit, what, Thursday, Friday, both mornings with some frizzle. And, yeah, we were salt. I think we put a couple hundred thousand pounds of salt down between those two days. Yeah.
00:04:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah we're uh we're looking like we're gonna make it i refuse to buy any more salt this year and i think we're gonna make it we still got you know maybe 25 yards or so in the bins so we should be good we don't use that much so well that'll that'll make it through but what are we doing today today we're gonna continue talking about megastorm fernando i don't know who names these things but uh
00:04:54
RICK JAMES
Fernando, was it Fernand?
00:04:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
hernando fernando i don't something with something with a nando but uh it was that big storm a couple weeks ago that uh went from you know ah a grazing dusting the two to uh you know two to three feet in a very short order but it was always going to be a big coastal storm and uh
00:04:57
RICK JAMES
I don't fucking know.
00:05:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
it was always going to start in Jersey and down South there and getting hammered. And the Jersey boys did get hammered. So to help us here last, last
Guest Introduction: Sean and Brian's Storm Experience
00:05:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
week, what did we do?
00:05:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
We did Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
00:05:26
RICK JAMES
Yeah, yeah.
00:05:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
So we had the Lutzels and, and who do we have Mikey Santa, the seat though on from ODP there. Uh, Viagra Group, whatever they're called now. He was telling us about New Hampshire and in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, how they fared.
00:05:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Rhode Island had records now 30-something inches, 36.
00:05:44
RICK JAMES
Yeah, yeah.
00:05:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Holy crap.
00:05:46
RICK JAMES
yes yeah
00:05:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
We got off relatively easy. you know We're normally in the bullseye, but hearing their stories, that we got off relatively easy with 15, 16 there. but ah Yep.
00:05:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
So tonight we're going to talk to a couple the Jersey boys who got it done.
00:06:01
RICK JAMES
just to get done? Did Sean just get done moving that snow?
00:06:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
What?
00:06:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think they're still moving. They're they're they're following the Fargo model.
00:06:06
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:06:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
that yeah They're going to push this around for like six months until it melts.
00:06:12
RICK JAMES
Good.
00:06:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Just keep moving it left to right.
00:06:13
RICK JAMES
Good for that. I'm glad I could teach him something.
00:06:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Melt it off. Yep.
00:06:17
RICK JAMES
Maybe I'll get a sweatshirt from the old native this year if he makes some money.
00:06:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
So...
00:06:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
That native apparel might be coming because they've actually got a lot of...
00:06:23
RICK JAMES
and We'll probably get a Gildan t-shirt.
00:06:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh.
00:06:25
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:06:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah You get one of those t-shirts that are so hard they stand up on their own.
00:06:30
RICK JAMES
or
00:06:33
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:06:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Oh, man. But, yeah, we do have Sean DiVincenzo, crowd favorite of native snow. We got Brian Zervinski of All About Green Landscaping. We've heard from both of those boys before. They are very entertaining. They're good dudes, and we're going to talk to them tonight and hear how the storm went from them and how the weather reports started, how they evolved, and, you know, how everything ended up and how they made out. So, That's what we're doing tonight, but before we do it today, before we do that, you know what got to do? We're going to hear from Team Top Gun, and we're going to come back and do the week review.
00:07:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right we're back. Thank you to Top Gun. Storks Plows, week review. Here we go. Storks Plows announced the dates again, if we've you've been paying attention the last couple weeks. The dates are out for Storks Snow Alliance 2026. They are April 24th and 25th. Tickets are on sale currently on the Storks web website. ah Guys, this event's going to sell out. It's guaranteed. It's a limited number of tickets. If you have any inclination of going, buy your tickets now.
00:08:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
They're not going to last. So get over to Storks' website and get it done. Storksplows.com. Let's see. What do we got? Storks having a golf tournament during the day on Friday the 24th before the welcome party that night that's sponsored by Case Construction Equipment.
00:08:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Friday morning, that golf tournament is sponsored by Artix, snow and ice control products. So that's pretty cool. They're adding a golf tournament. So, you know, if you haven't been kicked in the balls enough by the winter, you can go out and shoot 140 on the golf course and feel real good about yourself.
00:08:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
So that'll be a lot of fun. ah
00:08:43
RICK JAMES
and Are they giving away the Steve Caddy? Is that that the prize?
00:08:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. That's what you want. You know, I don't think I should caddy. You know what they should do is just give us a microphone and a a couple mics and a speaker. And we sit on one of the tee boxes and just break everybody's balls.
00:08:57
RICK JAMES
Oh, we could do that. And you could hand them all you could hand juice boxes out.
00:08:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
That would be There we go. Juice boxes on the the ninth tee. And that would be a lot of fun. That I would definitely do that.
00:09:06
RICK JAMES
Yeah, I would, I'd definitely make fun of people.
00:09:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely. Just get one of those big speakers, couple of mics, and just make fun of people's outfits and all that good stuff. We could definitely do that for them.

00:16:08
All About Green LLC
Hernando.
00:16:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
So they don't know where we're coming up with these names. I'm like, somebody named it.
00:16:16
Native Snow
Yeah, some weather guy named it.
00:16:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Exactly. So one of your own named it. So take, take, ah take it up with that guy.
00:16:21
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:16:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
right.
00:16:24
All About Green LLC
I think the Weather Channel rolls with it, so they got something to say.
00:16:27
RICK JAMES
Yeah, I agree.
00:16:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
So what did it start out for you guys? Like, were you guys in the freaking bullseye right off the bat or did it start out like us with a grazing tattoo and then, oh, by the way, you'll get one to two feet.
00:16:41
All About Green LLC
Grazing here. i was i was I was watching the weather because I was going i was supposed to be in full i was in Florida. i was actually was We're watching it ahead of time. I was leaving it on Friday and it was just, oh, a graze, but we're keeping an eye on it. All the components are there, but we're not sure. It looks like it's going to miss.
00:17:01
All About Green LLC
I'm sitting at the airport at 3.30 on Friday and it's like, ping, weather update, 5 to 10.
00:17:09
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:17:14
All About Green LLC
Sunday morning that I scrambled to find a JFK. So I, everything that they had said was going to be later on Sunday. So I was pretty confident in my 6 a.m.
00:17:25
All About Green LLC
flight home and it all worked out well.
00:17:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah so it wasn't like a long trip.
00:17:27
All About Green LLC
But I was, no, this was, ah oh was it was, you know, 48 hours. That was, it was a quick,
00:17:33
RICK JAMES
It was for sounds cocaine and hose.
00:17:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
00:17:36
All About Green LLC
It was, so as I was allocating all this, all the Shawn's needs and mewling them back for him.
00:17:44
RICK JAMES
That's buddies do. That's what buddies do.
00:17:45
All About Green LLC
That's it, that's it.
00:17:46
Native Snow
Let's see that.
00:17:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh my god and what did you end up with brian when it was all said and done
00:17:47
RICK JAMES
Take care of each other.
00:17:51
All About Green LLC
Across our portfolio, we had 15 inches in our West Jersey sites and 27.3 in our, in Elizabeth, which was like that one right next to Newark airport.
00:18:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
whoa
00:18:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. Yeah, the Metroplex.
00:18:03
RICK JAMES
Wow.
00:18:05
All About Green LLC
Yup.
00:18:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha. And ah Mr. Native there, what did it what what did it say for you? right all Well, I mean, you cover all of Jersey, right? So...
00:18:13
Native Snow
Yeah, we're pretty far. It was the same thing, though. It was, it's going to miss us. It's not going to miss. But the thing that always made me a little worried about the entire storm was that WeatherWorks report, they just kept saying they're keeping an eye on it, like Brian said. When they do that, they usually mean something's coming.
00:18:33
Native Snow
they weren't They weren't calling for anything specific.
00:18:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:18:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yes. Do you want me to translate what that means?
00:18:37
Native Snow
It was just, yeah.
00:18:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
We're keeping an eye on it. That means something major is there, but we do not want to be wrong.
00:18:40
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:18:41
RICK JAMES
He doesn't want to think about it
00:18:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
So we're going to wait till three hours before it starts to tell you that you're getting the major.
00:18:50
All About Green LLC
hundred percent
00:18:50
Native Snow
I'd rather them do that. And every single update, they update, they up the they up the totals six to 10 inches every single time.
00:18:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
You would rather them wait till the last second to tell you that, by the way, now you're getting three feet instead of a near miss?
00:18:58
All About Green LLC
ye
00:19:03
Native Snow
Yes, because we all we all knew that we all knew the signal was there, right? So it was like, okay, the signal's there. So we already knew about it for an entire week. I don't need to know that we're getting 40 inches and get nothing.
00:19:14
Native Snow
I'd rather them tell me we're not getting nothing. And then the day before the storm, like, no, we're getting something. All right, cool.
00:19:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
That is the exact opposite of how I would play it.
00:19:21
Native Snow
I don't need a pre-planned. Yeah, no, want a pre-planned.
00:19:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, that's true. You don't pre-plan anything.
00:19:26
Native Snow
No.

I think the timing, like that 72 hours is really all you need. It was just making sure that everybody was available.
00:19:38
Native Snow
That's it.
00:19:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, no, 72 hours is great. I'm okay with 72 hours out changing it. But, like, we were talking about this on our show. as ah When did that hit? Sunday dinner time we started.
00:19:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
And as of Saturday morning, we were still in a grazing to two.
00:19:52

00:21:32
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:21:33
RICK JAMES

00:22:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's the easiest thing in the world.
00:22:04
RICK JAMES
like I can show you that alert on my phone right now.
00:22:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh shit. So what was what they told you you were going to get? Did it end up being accurate?
00:22:17
Native Snow
Yes.
00:22:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:22:19
All About Green LLC
Yep.
00:22:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
You're good to go.
00:22:20
All About Green LLC
But Sean was right. Every six hours, we got an update even less than that. And it was, there was six inches more on every update until basically Sunday morning.
00:22:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. Yeah, it was definitely ramping, that's for sure.
00:22:32
All About Green LLC
Yeah.
00:22:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
They were definitely ramping it up. And what what was the snow consistency like? what was it
00:22:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Was it heavy and wet?
00:22:38
Native Snow
Wet and heavy.
00:22:39
Native Snow
you
00:22:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Was it light and fluffy? Did you guys mix? What what was it?
00:22:43
Native Snow
We started as rain for hours. It rained for... six seven eight hours before it snowed then it transitioned to these giant wet flakes and uh it was wet and heavy
00:22:50
All About Green LLC
Yep.
00:22:59
All About Green LLC
Yeah, I think towards the end, like by like that second half of the snow ended up being a little bit more lighter and fluffier. Like as it got down into like the upper 20s and the wind was howling, it was it was a lot lighter and fluffier than it was at like, say, dinner time.
00:23:14
All About Green LLC
um But yeah, Sean nailed it. It was the first... Five six hours like when I rock but we I first got in my truck. It was like 37 degrees and rain
00:23:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
that's pretty wild yeah we didn't we didn't start his rank
00:23:27
All About Green LLC
Yeah, although it made it a
00:23:28
RICK JAMES
Did that cause you bigger problems with the rain beforehand? Like did it,
00:23:32
All About Green LLC
Yes, I was just going to say it made it made a little bit bigger problem as far as getting traction like because of the compaction problem. like the rain, the the pavement was still warm. We didn't really get it pre-treat down because you couldn't because it was going to just wash away anyway.
00:23:49
All About Green LLC
And then when those heavy wet flakes started and you started rolling over top of it, especially like our complexes that have constant traffic because a lot of people were still out till I'd say probably like 8, 9 o'clock.
00:24:01
All About Green LLC
Everything got compacted. So we were we actually threw salt in the beginning of the storm to try to just keep melting on the bottom. And just we were a couple sites. We lost it a little bit, but we were able to get get get some traction back towards the beginning of the storm. But yeah, it was a pain in the ass.
00:24:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
was it all snow the whole time or did you mix like all snow okay well that's good because it was the yeah no go ahead
00:24:22
All About Green LLC
All snow for me.
00:24:23
Native Snow
Oh, snow. Yeah.
00:24:27
RICK JAMES
What was your rates? What was your rates? Sorry, Steve.
00:24:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah not bad
00:24:31
RICK JAMES
What was your rates?
00:24:31
Native Snow
Probably two inches an hour was the highest. That's at least what the weather report said. I would imagine that was pretty accurate, too. I know it said we can get up to three. I don't think I've seen that.
00:24:42
Native Snow
um Maybe in isolated areas that happened, definitely, but...
00:24:48
All About Green LLC
Yeah, I'd say the same. There was a couple points where it was full light out for a while, like and but not I didn't feel like any extended amount of time. But just like consistent, heavy smell.
00:24:56
Native Snow
No.
00:24:59
All About Green LLC
now
00:24:59
Native Snow
Yeah. It snowed for 24 hours and we got 20 to 28 inches depending on where you were. So ah an inch, an inch and a half an hour, you know, an inch and a quarter an hour or whatever.
00:25:11
All About Green LLC
Yeah, the winds were the winds were pretty bad. I would say from like 10, 11 o'clock to like 4, 5 o'clock in the morning, it was hallowing. Like it was it was blowing 40, 50 miles an hour.
00:25:19
RICK JAMES
Breezy?
00:25:23
Native Snow
And it was warm and it was freezing with that wind.
00:25:23
RICK JAMES
Slight breeze, Glenn.
00:25:26
Native Snow
Remember we were doing that that line on my plow in your lot.
00:25:27
All About Green LLC
Yeah.
00:25:31
Native Snow
And it was cold.
00:25:31
All About Green LLC
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was cold. Yep.
00:25:33

00:25:34
Native Snow
Yeah, it's like, like, yeah.
00:25:36
All About Green LLC
Slight breeze, just a little a little, a light wind. It's a perfect time to change hose. Yep, same.
00:25:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
did they i mean they the forecast was for high winds for this whole thing for the entire area did did you guys find that the winds were there the entire time they were supposed to be or did you find they died down early
00:25:56
Native Snow
I think they kicked up late and they died down early, which was good, which was good for us.
00:25:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah yes very
00:25:59
All About Green LLC
yep same
00:26:01
Native Snow
I mean, I think that helped us out. Listen to those guys last week. They, you know, they were saying they had all those snow drifts. We had some snow drifting, but not, not crazy, which was good.
00:26:11
All About Green LLC
Yeah.
00:26:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, we didn't either.
00:26:12
All About Green LLC
And by Monday, by Monday morning, it shut off. So like the drip, like it wasn't that Monday afternoon to, we weren't going back Tuesday or Tuesday afternoon for drifts.
00:26:15
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:26:20
All About Green LLC
It was, it was by Monday cleanup. You were, you were kind of dealing with your drifting situations.
00:26:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, we didn't have drifts because, like you said, the the wind overnight, everything was off the roofs already. So it was already on the ground. So once you pushed it and once it ended, ended, it was over for us. We didn't have any drifting after that.
00:26:40
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:26:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very little.
00:26:41
Native Snow
Yeah, no, it was actually a pretty pretty good storm with that stuff. I was glad we didn't get any of the drifting. I was a little nervous about that, especially with the sidewalks. It's super difficult to deal with that stuff.
00:26:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. So how did you guys make it through? how was your How was your equipment? Any issues that came up? How did it go?
00:27:02
All About Green LLC
Speaking of the wind, we, I think one of the guys running our compact loader was at the Wawa we were filling up and I pull away and he's like shattered the doors, nailed it.
00:27:12
RICK JAMES
Shattered the door. jacke Shattered the door. I could see that one coming.
00:27:16
The SnowJobs Podcast

All About Green LLC
Yeah, he came right back in. He's like, ah you know, I'm filling up his machine. He's going in to get coffee or whatever else he needs. Everybody's good. all right, you guys headed back to the site. Cool. I'm heading back north.
00:27:28
All About Green LLC
I didn't get up 90, you know, I didn't get away from the site for five minutes and my phone rings. You want to come back? I shattered the door. While I was a savior though, went right into the cardboard dumpster bin area, put took as many pieces of cardboard as I could.
00:27:46
All About Green LLC
Loaded Ronnie up and he was nice and nice and warm, ready to go.

All About Green LLC

00:28:55
All About Green LLC
It's true. I know. I should have.
00:28:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's funny. That's really funny.
00:28:59
RICK JAMES
Got to post that on social media.
00:28:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's cool. What about you, Sean?
00:29:01
All About Green LLC
And he did it. He did it. We do the Aldi that's attached to the Wawa.
00:29:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, sorry. Go ahead.
00:29:04
All About Green LLC
So the door blew open and shattered in the Aldi parking lot. And I'm like, dude, we got to clean up this glass. I don't need a blown tire later on tonight. So we're out there shoveling snow and glass and just throwing into the dumpsters.
00:29:18
RICK JAMES
Ugh.
00:29:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
How'd you make out Sean you're always entertaining During storms for equipment Malfunctions No Well you're wide out
00:29:24
Native Snow
It was not bad. My plow had a couple malfunctions, but other than that, everything really... Yeah. Yeah, this is the second time I've had a problem with that plow.
00:29:37
Native Snow
ah that The set screw for the PSI of going up keeps backing out. So my guy just...
00:29:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha Nope don't have one
00:29:44
Native Snow
Yours did that too? and then Oh, okay. The plow won't go up.
00:29:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, I've heard I've heard of that.
00:29:49
Native Snow
Okay.
00:29:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
I've had I've heard that issue before.
00:29:52
Native Snow
Yeah, so the plow wouldn't go up again. towards that was towards the end of the storm, so i was able to swap it out with a different plow. you know Thankfully for Western, they made everything fleet flex unless you have LED lights, and then you can't inter-swap with anything because you know why have a fleet of plows that you can't inter-swap when you have LED? It doesn't make any sense, but whatever. um Other than that, and we had a loose hydraulic line that ah that we fixed in Brian's parking lot, and that was really it.
00:30:20
RICK JAMES
Wow, that's awesome for that big storm.
00:30:22
All About Green LLC
All about green to the rescue again.
00:30:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:30:25
Native Snow
I'm up there. My plow started going, angling left and right. I'm like, well, that's not normal. Let's check it out. I just had a loose fitting. Put some fluid in there. Sent it on his way.
00:30:36
All About Green LLC

00:30:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:30:58
All About Green LLC
Oh yeah. I just took a pile and it was, cause it was into ah into a hill and it was already built up.
00:30:59
RICK JAMES
Nobody here?
00:31:05
All About Green LLC
So I went right up the ramp and right up myself and then it just, yep.
00:31:09
RICK JAMES
Dropped out?
00:31:12
All About Green LLC
Plow was like sitting up. I had to dig out the entire thing. Oh man.
00:31:17
RICK JAMES
Nobody around there to pull you out?
00:31:19
All About Green LLC
No, they were they were there, but we' oh they were there to pull me out. we didn't I didn't have a chain. That was the one thing I forgot to put to to put.
00:31:24
RICK JAMES
ah
00:31:25
All About Green LLC
I didn't have a chain on me. And I knew it. Before the storm started, i so looked at the chains and I'm like, oh, I definitely got to throw one in the back in case somebody gets stuck. Yep, there is. Got stuck myself.
00:31:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
That is the one thing I always have at all times in my truck is a toe strap. That's it. One of those bungee straps.
00:31:41
RICK JAMES
Oh, yeah.
00:31:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Just rip me out.
00:31:43
All About Green LLC
Yep.
00:31:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Rip me out.
00:31:44
All About Green LLC
I had one and I stood threw in the other truck and then I switched trucks.
00:31:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, that's funny.
00:31:49
RICK JAMES
I got them in loaders and trucks and everybody's.
00:31:51
All About Green LLC
Okay.
00:31:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man. Sean, how did your um how did your native wives group, how did they do with this storm?
Praises and Operational Impact
00:32:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Your operators.
00:32:03
RICK JAMES
Oh, yeah. You had the women out there.
00:32:05
Native Snow
Oh yeah. They do great.
00:32:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
I heard this is the new way to go. This this is definitely the way to go.
00:32:09
Native Snow
This is it. Men, all they do is bitch and cry that they're tired, they're hungry, their vaginas hurt. i See how I said men and vaginas? Because that's what they have, I'm pretty sure. And then the woman, they just go out and they fucking grind. No complaints.
00:32:24
Native Snow
Curb to curb. Perfect lots every single time. Never have to check on them. I don't know.
00:32:30
RICK JAMES
That's good.
00:32:31
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:32:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Dude, it does make sense, man. It makes a lot of sense. Like I was just thinking about my son versus my daughter. My daughter is a machine. You tell her exactly what to do. She will do it with detail until it's done. And you won't even hear from her. My son will call you 18 times in 20 minutes and want to say, why can't I do it this way? Well, how about I do this? How about I do that? And he'll leave stuff behind. Like, I'm like, it makes such perfect sense. Just looking at that through the lens of my two children.
00:33:01
Native Snow
Yep.
00:33:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, man, that that genius makes so much sense.
00:33:06
RICK JAMES
Yeah, no women usually do a good job.
00:33:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure.
00:33:08
RICK JAMES
Only thing I've ever had, not a problem, but don't seem they can go the distance. The guys, can they do that'd probably better, you know, just as good a job, not better, but theyre they don't have the longevity.
00:33:21
Native Snow
I mean, these ones were outpacing the guys.
00:33:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:33:22
Native Snow
I had guys leaving middle of the storm, so I can't really, uh,
00:33:26
RICK JAMES
No, I'm not saying that that doesn't happen. I'm just saying the ones I've had.
00:33:27
Native Snow
Yeah. Oh, no, i I believe that, yeah. no these the One's my sister, one was my wife, and one is a girl that we hired this year, and they all do great. So they all run machines.
00:33:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
I love it. That's awesome, man.
00:33:39
RICK JAMES
yeah that's
00:33:39

00:35:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome. Snow plowing in Jersey.
00:35:19
Native Snow

00:35:20
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:35:22
All About Green LLC
Hell yeah.
00:35:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:35:25
Native Snow
It's a tenant. It's a 10 acre site. She does the entire thing with a, with a JCB four nine down the road. I have a, I have a 13 and a half, 14 acre site, which has a full size loader, the XCMG 948, a T770 skid steer and two trucks in there.
00:35:44
Native Snow
She was done in 26 hours. The dudes weren't done for 36 hours. or It was like 10 hour difference. Like there there's a little bit more detail working the other lot, but there's a lot more fucking iron going on.
00:35:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, a lot of...
00:35:57
Native Snow
than They should be done. Like they're just efficient.
00:35:59
All About Green LLC
Yeah.
00:35:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
And and here's here's a question for you. i Now, I'm just guessing that this would make sense. I would guess they're a lot easier on your equipment, too.
00:36:07
Native Snow
Yes.
00:36:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
and that I would definitely think that would be the case, that there would be a lot less damage and breakage.
00:36:10
All About Green LLC
yeah.
00:36:12
Native Snow
I'm telling them like, hey, you could throttle this thing up. Throttle it up a little bit. No, well I'm good like this. I'm comfortable. Me, I'm like fucking full balls to the wall. Everybody else idle all the way up.
00:36:24
Native Snow
They're like, no, we're good. I'm like, all right. As you're not losing a lot, I don't really care. And they do a great job. Yeah, they do. then they fucking They do great.
00:36:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome. Good for you, dude.
00:36:31
RICK JAMES
That's awesome. That's all you need to di
00:36:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Good for you.
00:36:35
RICK JAMES
Your new business model, Sean.
00:36:36
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:36:37
RICK JAMES
Here's
00:36:37
Native Snow
That's it.
00:36:38
All About Green LLC
That's it.
00:36:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
I love it. I love it. When are you, uh, are you implementing this, uh, this new policy, Brian?
00:36:45
All About Green LLC
Yeah. Listen, i I said earlier, the last time I put out a, ah I put out some marketing material, I made a point to say we were hiring women too. We'll, we'll take anybody, but I feel like it's an untapped, an untapped arena, especially after Sean has, you know, the the luck that he's had in the quality of work.
00:37:04
All About Green LLC
I think it's a great, a great area.
00:37:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
It makes perfect sense.
00:37:07
RICK JAMES
I've said it for years.
00:37:07
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:37:09
RICK JAMES
I'm like, yeah, i don't, um I have no issue.
00:37:09
Native Snow
there was
00:37:10
All About Green LLC
yeah
00:37:11
RICK JAMES
Bring him on. i mean, let's go fill it up.
00:37:13
All About Green LLC
Definitely. I had two women call me and one worked at one of the quarries, but I guess something where she had, is she was working for another company and I'm assuming they just called her back because I didn't, you know she was like excited to come and then she's like, but I do do some work for this company and I didn't hear a back from her, but yeah, listen, I think it's great.
00:37:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Makes perfect sense. It definitely, it definitely makes sense in theory.
00:37:36
Native Snow
yeah
00:37:36
RICK JAMES
Was that the first storm your wife has been out, Sean?
00:37:39
Native Snow
No, she's been out ah she's been out a couple times this year.
00:37:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, she's been running.
00:37:42
Native Snow
We had a problem with this the one skid on that site, so she missed a couple storms as well. But she I think she plowed three storms this year.
00:37:50
RICK JAMES
Right.
00:37:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nice. That's awesome.
00:37:53
Native Snow
I got her on ah a little five-acre lot with a skid.
00:37:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Good for you, man.
00:37:57
Native Snow
She's all by herself, does her thing. Come back, and it's perfect.
00:38:02
RICK JAMES
Right.
00:38:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
So let me ask you question. So you guys have been down, right? For years. As far as snow totals in your area.
00:38:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
You did a little better last year, if I remember correctly, right? Last year was a decent.
00:38:10
Native Snow
I
00:38:13
Native Snow
think like 18, 19 inches maybe.
00:38:16
All About Green LLC
Yeah, I looked earlier.
00:38:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay. And like, cause you, you had close to zero a couple of years, right?
00:38:17
All About Green LLC
Yeah. 22, 23, think we
00:38:21
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:38:21
All About Green LLC
like,
00:38:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:38:22
All About Green LLC
twenty two twenty three i think we were like four inches seven inches
00:38:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
So.
00:38:25
Native Snow
We had like 300, 380 day snow drought or something. Not that long ago.
00:38:30
All About Green LLC
yeah
00:38:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
So now you get into a winter like this. I'd imagine, I don't know your totals down there, but you guys are having, you like everybody else, you guys are having big winters, right?
00:38:42
All About Green LLC
Yes. Yep. I looked earlier, i think our, across our portfolio, we're 49 to 58 inches, which is you know, I think our, what's our 30 year average, 27 strong, something like that.
00:38:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:38:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay. Yeah, that's double.
00:38:50
RICK JAMES
right.
00:38:53
Native Snow
27 and a half or 28. Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, so you so you're doubling up.
00:38:55
All About Green LLC
Yep.
00:38:55
Native Snow
We're, uh, we're between 40, 44 and 55 inches. Same thing. So yeah, definitely doubled.
00:39:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
So now this what challenges does that bring for you guys where you've had low winters for a couple years in a row and now you get a big winter like this? Is there anything that you you didn't expect? there anything, you know, ah anything crazy?
00:39:15
Native Snow
I think a lot of guys forgot what it's like to plow a big storm. A lot of lot of operators that been with me for a couple of years really surprised me.
00:39:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:39:25
Native Snow
um And they've been with me longer than snow drought years. um And they definitely surprised me by after like 20 hours being like, dude, I'm tired. got to go.
00:39:35
Native Snow
Like, just like stuff that they're not used to because you're getting a couple inches.
00:39:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Go where?
00:39:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
he
00:39:39
Native Snow
Go home.
00:39:40
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:39:40
All About Green LLC
Yeah, that's true.
00:39:41
Native Snow
look
00:39:41
All About Green LLC
Yeah.
00:39:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Where are you going, fucker?
00:39:42
Native Snow
Yeah. Like.
00:39:42
All About Green LLC
You can go to your truck over there and warm up from sleep for a little bit.
00:39:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:39:44
Native Snow
Yeah.
00:39:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Exactly.
00:39:46
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:39:47
Native Snow
Like, yeah, they just very surprisingly. And like, I think they forgot about like detail because, know, when it's When you get that snow and and it's 40 degrees the next day, if you miss ah if you miss a curb line, it doesn't matter. It goes away. But when it's 10 degrees out for a week and you miss a curb line, it looks like shit.
00:40:04
Native Snow
And a lot of detail work was missed.
00:40:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:40:04
RICK JAMES
yep
00:40:07
Native Snow
um You know, a lot of things I had to send guys back for in the beginning, especially during that that January storm that we had, um that cold weather and all that ice.
00:40:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:40:16
Native Snow
Like, it was...
00:40:16
RICK JAMES
All
00:40:17
Native Snow
Yeah, it was a definitely definitely an eye-opening like that. And it's hard to train. You can't train that. It doesn't matter because unless you're doing it, you don't these guys don't remember, you know, so or they don't care, you know, or they forget.
00:40:28
RICK JAMES
right. They don't get the hour.
00:40:31
Native Snow
Yeah. So I think that's the thing.
00:40:33
All About Green LLC
I think this, the snow totals are one thing, but cold this year was another thing because to Sean's point, even though eight years that we have 18 or 20 inches, like it melts in a day or two or a week or two and it's gone. And this year we had snow from December 10th all the way through to this week.
00:40:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:40:55
All About Green LLC
And I don't, I think a lot of the property managers, um, forgot about what it is to have a winter like that. So we have never done any hauling. I have planned for it. I've prepped for it. I've told people about it. And this is the first year where we've put plans in place and they've had to do it where it's like as soon as the storm or, you know, after that, the storm three weeks ago,
00:41:20
All About Green LLC
I'm like, they're like, what do you, you know, we're okay. These, I'm like, these piles are not going to disappear. And I know two weeks out looks fine, but who knows what's going to happen two weeks after that. And sure enough, if we didn't move any of those piles and refree up those snow zones, we would have been absolutely fucked.
00:41:36
All About Green LLC
And, and it and it worked and it was kind of worked in our favor too, because when they knew this storm was coming, Before the storm came, it was like, once those are filled again, just go right back to hauling them.
00:41:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:41:47
All About Green LLC
Like take your 24 or 36 hours, you know, and then just start moving those piles again, like start freeing up those areas again. I think that's, that was the biggest thing that I noticed is the cold with the snow around made people really think about, you know, what we have to do on a, on a real winter, you know, not like just push it and forget it.
00:42:07
All About Green LLC
You know, it'll milk on its own or mother nature will take care of it. Like mother nature was angry.
00:42:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, I mean, that's what it's, but that's what we're usually dealing with. Like, even up by me, we've we've had years where we're still getting 40 inches, but we don't even have frozen pavement for a day. Like, it's it's all going to melt if you don't get to it. You still look like rock stars. You know, you might have a little bit of spot ice the next day, but by the next the day after that, it's all it's all melted off and gone.
00:42:34
Native Snow
Yep.
00:42:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
So, yeah, I think this, like we've said it before on on on a couple shows in the past month, that this was lockdown cold for our area that we have not seen. Like, you know, I think 45 days plus of below freezing temperatures that did not get above 32, the whole 24-hour cycle, that's not usual for us, at least not in the last five to six years.
00:42:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
So this is like a ah big wake-up call. how How many failures? You guys see a lot of failures down there? Because, I mean...
00:43:05
RICK JAMES
Yeah, it's going to ask that.
00:43:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
I bet because failure failures in areas, yeah, well, absolutely. Failures in areas like mine where we routinely get a certain amount of snow, um that's that's one thing.
00:43:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
It doesn't happen very often, but where you'ret where you're kind of in an area where you guys have had down winter after down winter, they're going low ball Olympics down there. And is it crazy?
00:43:29
All About Green LLC
present
00:43:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Is it absolutely crazy failures down there? No, can't see that.
00:43:39
RICK JAMES
No. There you go. look
00:43:41
All About Green LLC
There it is.
00:43:46
RICK JAMES
Oh.
00:43:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, wow. Well, that doesn't do our audience any good because they can't see those pictures.
00:43:55
RICK JAMES
Oh, we should be doing video.
00:43:56
All About Green LLC
the The race to zero was very evident. those Those sites and those places were not plowed properly. Like, yes, they had equipment on there and they were moving snow, but man, they were putting it in places that were just Top signs and corners making there It was, it was bad. yeah And it was blatantly obvious.
00:44:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
00:44:19
RICK JAMES
Not you, Brad.
00:44:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:44:20
RICK JAMES
Not you? Jesus
00:44:23
All About Green LLC
The, uh,
00:44:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
i've seen I've seen pictures of a lot of failures down there. What's with the ah what's with the blinds places down there in Jersey? what what What company is that, the the the blinds liness to go? Like, what do they got going on? it Like, everybody's sending pictures of their lots with a foot and a half of snow on all those stores.
00:44:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, holy crap. I guarantee they use a national, but like are all of them, all of them by the same dude where he's just not plowing because man, there's picture after picture on all the sites.
00:44:46
All About Green LLC
Yeah.
00:44:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
You know what?
00:44:59
All About Green LLC

00:44:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Let's, let's hit some commercials real quick and we'll ah come right back and we'll ah keep going with these boys.
00:46:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Alright gang, we're back. So let's keep going Jay. What else you got for these guys? What do want to know about the big storm?
00:46:19
RICK JAMES
I mean, I'm just shocked that Sean didn't have any issues for a change. That's kind of cool.
00:46:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, he didn't say he had no issues
00:46:24
RICK JAMES
How much salt did he do? Well, he didn't have many for normal. So, mean, that's great. I mean, but how about your salt? How much salt did you guys have to go through in this event? Did have to go through a lot? And is there still a shortage for you guys or what?
00:47:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
No! They don't do that.
00:47:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. It's definitely definitely interesting, man.
Salt Usage and Contract Discussions
00:47:37
All About Green LLC
Yeah, we went through about half we went through about half the amount of salt that we did in the storm three weeks ago.
00:47:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh.
00:47:44
RICK JAMES
you went, you had decent temps since you after the storm, it warmed up pretty quick, right?
00:47:46
All About Green LLC
Yes. yeah Yeah, we got to like the mid-30s the day after, low 30s, which, you know, a little bit of salt. And the sun with now, like the sun angle, it makes a world of difference. Like I would say we had blacktop by 12 noon after this storm. And the other one, we were we were fighting.
00:48:05
RICK JAMES
Did either one of you guys on this big storm pick, you know, yeah we just talked about failure failures. Did any of you guys pick up any extra work or?
00:48:13
All About Green LLC
Yeah, we did just, we we picked up a lot of extra stuff like the day after, two days after. A couple of it was just like working with other guys that just needed a hand. You know, they were just outnumbered or outmanned and they just, you know, I i think a lot of the other Other work will come in the next couple months for the people that are just fed up with the guys that they have.
00:48:35
All About Green LLC
I think that that'll be a big one. I think the the biggest difference that I found with this storm versus three weeks ago was the fact that it was all snow.
00:48:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
This is
00:48:44
All About Green LLC
Moving 24 inches of snow was was a breeze compared to moving two and a half inches of sleep. We got murdered. And me and Sean were talking about this, going through like, hey, how was your labor? What was your... like Our payroll, I think I had 10 to 12 hours more time from that storm three weeks ago because of the sleet at the end than this one. This this was almost a breeze compared to compared to moving that net that storm.
00:49:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
So you guys got sleet on the one that we got all snow. When we got the two feet of snow, you guys got sleet.
00:49:16
All About Green LLC
Yeah, that end of January one, we got 12 to 14 inches of snow and then two and a half inches of sleet on top of it.
00:49:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
I forgot em about that.
00:49:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
God. Yeah, that sucks.
00:49:28
All About Green LLC
Miserable.
00:49:31
All About Green LLC
Oh, yeah.
00:49:32
RICK JAMES
Right.
00:49:40
All About Green LLC
Yep.
00:49:43
All About Green LLC
And you know what? WeatherWorks ran a sleet. calculation report after that storm. And I think I know some guys have talked about it and some guys had it, but next year i am adding a sleep clause into our contracts because like the two and a half inches of sleep was the equivalent of like eight more inches of snow.
00:50:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, I believe it.
00:50:05
RICK JAMES
Paul?
00:50:05
All About Green LLC
And for billing purposes, the amount of labor and time that we spent, like you have to like, we, I ate shit on a couple of contracts because of, because of the, that not having that in there.
00:50:05
RICK JAMES
Yes.
00:50:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
I believe it.
00:50:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. I mean, that's that's how contracts evolve, usually, by mistakes.

00:51:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, boy. So, I mean, you guys will definitely, like we've said this before, this is a very big market reset winter. Do you anticipate... I mean, where do you think it goes for your area? Because you guys have both been, you know, you've said this numerous times in the past that your market has been routinely just bled and bled and bled that the contracts are are going down to nothing. Do you think they come back up now that people are reminded that that global warming does not mean no more snow? It actually means bigger and meaner storms?
00:51:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:52:10
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:52:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Should have got a seasonal.
00:52:35
RICK JAMES
but will they will they But will the people actually do something?
00:52:35
All About Green LLC
Yeah.
00:52:38
RICK JAMES
Oh, we can't have two winners in a row like this. You know you know all they the property matters.
00:52:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, but you guys had a decent winner last year, right?
00:52:42
All About Green LLC
yeah
00:52:46
All About Green LLC
Last year we had a decent winter because we had so many small events. We had like 25, you know, half inch to three and a half inch events. So it was, it was, it was busy with a whole lot, with not a lot of snow.
00:52:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:53:01
All About Green LLC
And I think Steve, your point with seasonal, I think that's to be a big conversation and a big selling point for us. It's like, Hey, listen, you know The year before we had an average winter, this year you you know you just got crushed.
00:53:12
All About Green LLC
you know Next year we don't know what's going to happen, but you know if you take a look at the averages and you want to you want to worry worry about your budget or be more you know work with your budget, the seasonal route is the way to go.
00:53:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:53:25
All About Green LLC
And I think that's that'll be a lot.
00:53:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
or Or even do some kind of hybrid seasonal. You know, if you're in ah if you're in an area where, you know, you're not you're not guaranteed a certain amount every year, you know, a hybrid seasonal.
00:53:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
So at least, you know, you're still, you're making money, you're covering your costs and, you know, they're not hopefully breaking their entire budget.
00:53:36
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:53:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:53:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:53:56
RICK JAMES
tear deal. Yeah.
00:54:11
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:54:11
All About Green LLC
Yeah, 100%.
00:54:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, um it's amazing how many guys you still hear say the old 25, 30-year-old snow guy way of thinking where some years we win, some years we lose. like yeah that That should not even be a thought. like We should never fucking lose.
00:54:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
We can't afford to lose.
00:54:28
All About Green LLC
agree.
00:54:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
you lose now with you You lose now. You have one year of loss now. You might not make it back for another year.
00:54:38
RICK JAMES
ye
00:54:38
All About Green LLC
yes hundred percent oh agree And especially with insurance, like insurance losing carriers and all the other stuff, you can't you can't afford to.
00:54:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
But
00:54:48
All About Green LLC
Because your next quote is going to be doubled two and a half times what it was the year before.
00:54:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah guys need to they need to start reexamining how they're talking and how they're thinking where they need to do like what Sean just said and like what we've been saying on this show. We just want to keep it fair.
00:55:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
we don't We don't want to win or lose. We should not look at our our relationship with customers as a win-lose. Like, did we win or did they win? No, it's bullshit. Like, they should get they should feel like they got what they paid for.
00:55:03
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:55:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
with whatever their dollar amount was, and we should feel like we made adequate money for the money for the work that we had to do.
00:55:22
RICK JAMES
We put all, yeah.
00:55:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
There you go. That's how it should be. I'm so sick of hearing this, you know, some years we win, some years they win. That's that's the wrong way to do it. If you look at an adversarial like that, you're you're not going to have a very good relationship with your customers.
00:55:34
RICK JAMES
And you're not it's not gonna last either.
00:55:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, figure out a way to keep it fair for both of you so you're both happy.
00:55:39
All About Green LLC
of that's not
00:55:39
RICK JAMES
And then you might if you make it fair, you might actually be loyal, the customer might be loyal and contract be loyal to each other, you know?
00:55:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
100%. 100%. Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:46
All About Green LLC
Exactly.
00:55:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
hundred percent
00:55:47
All About Green LLC
and the and
00:55:48
RICK JAMES
That's all we're all looking for. I mean, there's plenty of work out there for all of us to do.
00:55:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:55:49
All About Green LLC
yeah
00:55:52
RICK JAMES
it you know, if we just everybody was just loyal and paid us the correct amount, you know, we wouldn't have people going to the bottom.
00:55:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:55:59
All About Green LLC
That's the thing. And I think the I'm more mad, I'm not mad at the property managers or the people managing their budget for accepting the lower bids. I'm more pissed off at the contractors and the guys that own companies that are selling their work at that level, at those levels, because they're they're they're fucking everybody.
00:56:11
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Right.
00:56:15
All About Green LLC
And like the whole work model of like, oh, I have a ton of work 12 months a year, so for three months a year in the winter, I'm going to do anything I can for cheap. We lost a contract to a guy and I talked to the property manager.
00:56:27
All About Green LLC
They came in 30% lower than my numbers. And I'm like, listen, I don't understand how this guy's even making any money. And he goes, well, he has 150 trucks. He's, you know, I'm like, yeah, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
00:56:39
RICK JAMES
right
00:56:39
All About Green LLC
I'm like, so he's, he's just low balling you to just get work to get work. Like that's silly.
00:56:44
RICK JAMES
how good How good a work is are they going to do?
00:56:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. yep
00:56:46
RICK JAMES
Exactly.
00:56:47
All About Green LLC
Well, that's the thing. So I followed up.
00:56:48
RICK JAMES
right
00:56:48
All About Green LLC
We lost two two contracts, three contracts this year. one One out of a bid and two out of like, they were, they were just came to me and were like, we're going with a national, we're going with another one. I followed up with all three property managers.
00:57:00
All About Green LLC
All three of them were like, they were, they were two were unhappy, said, we want you back next year. And the third one i heard through the grapevine that they just did a horrendous job and that they weren't happy with them.
00:57:12
All About Green LLC
So, I mean, you listen, you you get what you're paid for.
00:57:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Shocking.
00:57:15
All About Green LLC
Exactly. That's shocking is right.
00:57:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's it.
00:57:18
All About Green LLC
Right.
00:57:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
I'm shocked to my core.
00:57:19
All About Green LLC
I think that's going to be the biggest thing for me, I think, and for like a lot of the people that I've dealt with and talked to there, they went with the cheaper price. They got what they paid for. And now they understand that you're going to to pay a little bit more, but your tenants and the people that are coming to your facilities are going to be happy.
00:57:36
All About Green LLC
And that's the number one thing, right? Like you need to make sure that, and they're safe.
00:57:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Amen.
00:57:41
All About Green LLC
That's, that's the thing.
00:57:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Amen. That is the key. All right. what we get What else we got? Final thoughts. Anybody?
00:57:49
All About Green LLC
I think for us, like the things that we learned on this storm were, and i think Jack talked about it last week and so and Mike, the ah hotel rooms. I've learned that if the storm is going to be more than 12 hours, it's just worth it to spend the money on the hotel rooms and have them close to our sites. We put our shovel teams in the hotel rooms in the middle of the storm when it was blowing 60, 70 miles an hour. And our production after they came back out again was amazing. Like,
00:58:16
All About Green LLC
Nine, 10 o'clock in the morning, some of our facilities were already curb to curb. Like those guys came out guns blazing. So I think taking care of them on the other side is, you know, and planning a little bit better for resting times and for, you know, keeping them fresh was, is a home run.
00:58:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Love it. What about you, Sean? Any final thoughts?
