• Time your plowing and salting with the rest of the crew so sites are covered properly

• Be ready to work whenever snow is forecasted, including weekends and holidays, and get ahead of freezing rain by pre-salting

• Log your hours and material use in the Viaesys app (they'll train you)

• Inspect your equipment before heading out, and clean, wash, and grease it afterward

• Let the account manager know right away about any damage or delays
