This is a question that is commonly asked.
What we can say is it certainly depends on the site.
If you are a homeowner with a driveway and or sidewalk that needs to be cleared we, TCSA, may not be able to help you. Although we built our business over 3 decades ago working with and helping residential homeowners, we have found that the rate most are willing to pay does not allow us to employ the best and most educated team and drive the safest and best maintained vehicles, thus we are not the "cheap" guy for this work.
However, to answer the question clearly we would suggest that the "average " driveway in the "average " snowfall in the Detroit area or any snow region that had a 40 to 60 inch total average winter should be at least $100.00 / per visit.
Any person who invests tens of thousands of dollars for a truck, plow, insurance and more than works crazy unpredictable hours risking being sued warrants a fair and equitable return on their risks.

Well, I choose the industry, because the harder I worked the more I made, the more I made the sooner I could move out of my parents’ home and become self-sufficient. It's really no more than that. I tried college, actually a couple of them. Not for me. See, ever since I was young I believed that time and money should be viewed as an "investment" one that should get you where you want to be as soon as possible and with as much joy as possible along the journey.
Now this is a question we may not be able to perfectly answer, but we will try.
