Municipal Snow Hauling

What This Service Involves

When a rare significant storm overwhelms a city's own resources, public works crews often need extra trucks to move snow off critical corridors. Our region's agencies aren't staffed for the sustained events that occasionally arrive with a deep arctic outflow. We supplement municipal operations by hauling from priority streets, civic parking, and transit stops to designated snow-disposal sites. We work under the city's direction and priorities so public infrastructure keeps functioning.
