No. I may even be able to steer some business their way, since plow people and I are not direct competitors. They do parking lots and long driveways- I don’t. In this town competition would be cut-throat for them, since their are a large number of people who have snowplows on their trucks. Plow people are almost always unwilling to get out of their warm trucks and do a little physical labor.
