Questions crews ask
How much does it pay?
Each job shows the exact pay before you claim it: a flat amount per visit for a single driveway, walk, lot or roof, or a flat amount per push for a season route. The pay you see when you claim is the pay you get.
Do I pay anything to get jobs?
No. There are no lead fees, no sign-up fees and no monthly cost. Snow Pass gets paid by the customer and pays you for the work.
How do I get the jobs?
By email, and by text if you check the text box. Each message has a link. Tap it, read the job, and tap Claim. The first crew to claim gets it.
What if nobody claims a job?
We may raise the pay. Everyone who got the job hears about it, and the old price is shown crossed out. Once you claim, the pay is locked.
What is a season route?
A set of properties near each other that you plow or shovel every storm. You claim the whole route and get the same pay for every push. You log each push with an after photo.
What do I do on the job?
Tap On my way, then Arrived, then Done with an after photo. If something comes up, tap Can't make it as early as you can so we can send the job to someone else.
When do I get paid?
After the job is marked done. Your jobs page shows each payout as Pending or Paid, plus your totals for the week and month.
Do I need insurance?
Plow trucks should carry commercial auto insurance, and every crew should carry general liability insurance. Tell us what you have and upload proof if you can. We check before we approve.
