Snow, landscape, and service companies lose countless hours, and dollars, every winter because their crews are equipped with tools that slow them down instead of setting them up for success. Inefficient plows, outdated equipment, and the wrong tools for the job lead to longer routes, higher labor costs, and teams who feel like they’re fighting their equipment more than the storm.

In this episode, industry expert Rob Thibault shows how to turn wasted time into efficient, profitable snow operations by choosing equipment that actually boosts performance. He breaks down what contractors should consider when upgrading their gear and explains how innovations like back blades can dramatically improve speed, coverage, and productivity in the field.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify where your equipment is costing you time and money
• Choose tools that match the demands of commercial snow operations
• Increase route efficiency without increasing labor
• Equip your team to succeed and reduce burnout during peak storms

If you want to recruit great people, keep them, and set them up for success, this episode shows how the right equipment becomes a foundation for building a Win/Win Workplace where crews feel supported and performance rises across the board.
