Thanks for all the love really appreciate it follow us on IG like and share we will keep the content coming. 🦣
You definitely need to let your clients know what's happening. They might be willing to pay early, or reach out to local officials.
As I suggested yesterday
Haha clients wanting to pay early, thats funny
I lived in Mammoth, the town has always been run improperly INHO!! Crazy place with L.A. breathing down your neck!
it is Great to See Men up in the morning for a days work, many lazy people today dont want to work, i am 73 yrs old retired trucker and still work. Good Work,
They are watching your channel too and are aware their anti-competitive behavior is having its intended effect. What they are too stupid to realize is that you are recording the damage they are causing your business and a good out of town lawyer that specializes in anti-competitive monopoly and oligopoly will have a wining case against them. Especially the town is also liable to the damage to your company. You may not have energy or money to sue, but you do have a case.
Your a legend! Good luck with the town.
Funny that you say that as he is working on all the locals hard work that he expects for free for him with no credit.
That snow on those roofs are insane! I give all those guys shoveling that stuff alot of credit. Great exercise and they get paid for it and can't forget the beautiful views. Great job to all of you guys out there.
PS.....SUE THE PIT!!
Great job so much work for all praying for favor with town officials🥰
Dude, on those flat roofs, get a whip saw, cut the snow into big blocks and flop the block onto visqueen, push it over the side.
$10,500 to dump snow in a pit? Snow melts into water in the spring and doesn't even remain in the pit like a landfill would. These ripoff prices are outrageous!!! Hopefully this exposure on RUclips will show the corruption of these ripoff contractors at Mammoth Mountain!!! Also the politicians there seem to be sleezy on the take dirtbags as well! The world is watching all this on your videos. Keep up the excellent content and exposing these criminal contractors and politicians!😉👍🏻
I totally agree!! They're screwing this man over. Very sad what's going on there.
I agree everything California touches is corrupt with these POS sell out leadership throughout this state 🤬
Would love to see him purchase/rent a snow melter and cut them (the pit contractors/politicians) out completely. Then take their business away and have other contractors rent the unit from him when not in use.
Absolute bullshit. Find a buddy with an acre of property and give him $10k.
You clearly have no Idea what you are talking about. LOL
Great job moving a lot more snow. Praying for a resolution with the town people. Great content enjoying watching it. ❤🇨🇦
Working this hard always opens big doors down the road. Keep it up and BE SAFE Bro. Praying that no one gets hurt. Keep your feet underneath you. That ice can sneak up quickly. Just sore muscles 💪.
I hope everything works out for you
l still can't believe that during this desperate state of emergency that your service isn't being regarded as an essential service provided to the local citizens to help avoid a potential disaster.
The public should be dragging this issue across the table to those in power pointing out that in case of major roof collapses or fire they should be held accountable for crippling the response of emergency services.
All of this "old boys club" stuff just plain stinks. And I'm sure if push came to shove it would in court as well. As mentioned get your clients to voice their concerns and displeasure over how this is going down. One voice is a whisper, many voices help immensely in getting the message out. The public should be made aware of the fact that city council is playing with their safety and well being.
100% correct
Sounds like it might be time to file a public records request with the city to see just what is in the contract with the pit contractor.
I can’t praise enough people who work hard for their money. Great job and great content. Hopefully your clients can appreciate the hard work and get involved in the matter. Their taxes is what’s keeping the city going.
I’d stop running trucks once the credit is up and get your deposit money back. They will most likely drag out returning the deposits to hurt you even more, but the sooner you start the process the better. Ideas: Find a melt box rental or speak to a client with excess area near a sewer and lay down industrial rubber heat pads that work on electric and pay the excess electric bill and just dump the piles on the pads. These ideas may not work for your situation, but they get your creative problem solving skills in gear.
You don’t get your depot back, it’s a prepayment. He’ll get his money back through charging his client for the service.
Making good progress with your snow removal operations there. Hope you are making good progress with the Attorney General of California concerning the gouging aka price rigging between the town and the town's dump contractor!! Keep those updates rolling...
If he could get his own land to dump on. Would be way cheaper.
Contact gov Newsom . . . the AG won’t do anything. Newsom has been to Owens Valley . . . buy him dinner at the Warming Hut!
@@comontoshi Maybe Newsom could explain the process for hazardous water mitigation in California prior to warming weather and melting snow? Maybe his trumpy jr ride or die bae of days gone by, that one kimberley gargoil chik could appear and show up how the Best Is Yet To Come!! HazMat Disaster in the making!!
I would imagine the current pit/dump area has been grandfathered in from it being established years ago, that is why the owner is being the way he is, its a gold mine. Current regulations would most likely make it all but impossible to establish a new dump area. Environmental studies, wildlife impact, bla bla, bla. Kalifornia has done this to itself, it will only get worse.
@@hkguitar1984 If in fact the good ole boy townies do operate in reliance upon their granddaddies now gone before us all, they best be in deep regular consultation with their apparent collusive contractor / actor / sidekick to fully ensure any provisions or prior permitting are rigorously enforced, lest they all be up that creek in its winter form! Quickest way to null an existing permit is to violate any provision thereof! For example, how far back in January now was the annual use capacity met, and then exceeded.
Small gas powered snow blowers work great on roofs. Set the shoes to where it leaves a couple inches.
Have you done any roof snow removal on John Muir Rd?
My father in law buit his cabin himself in 1969 on John Muir. Sold it in 2005.
My husband wondered if the roof was still holding.
We've had to dig out many a winter. Always wonderful and fun. Except driving down Davison Rd. Yikes!!
My husband taught me to ski in Mammoth and we lived there for a short time after we got married. Originally from Bakersfield and Ridgecrest. Montana is our home now.
Your videos bring back a lot of good memories!
Get your clients to start getting involved!!
Meant, get your clients involved w/ the town people
Thanks for all the hard work, awesome! You should change your business model to have COD for the hauling and either keep the clearing on x day net or also COD. I am sure some, if not all, of your customers will understand. The Warming Hut does not give you 30 days net.
The whole town may need to pull together and create a snow removal "co op". Just saying, you can't take on the political corruption by yourself and YOU'RE providing them with a very necessary service that apparently no one who lives there wants to do. Everyone needs to work together. Co op time. There's strength 💪 in numbers. No man is an island
Keep at it.👍
God bless you
Just when you thought your job was hard. God bless those kids with the shovels on roofs. Ugh
You've got some real good workers there. Either that or they have one guy "On Watch Duty" to see when you drive down the road.
I'm just kidding of course, these guys are moving so much volume I'm proud of them for you and glad that part had a Blessing come your way...
Man I feel for you!! That’s bullshit they want you to pay upfront. They should at least give you 15-30 days so you can send invoices out. Sounds like they want one or two companies to do all the hauling or intentionally make things difficult for all the people who live in town.
Are other contractors having the same issue with finance at the Pit ?
No, I'm pretty sure he mentioned it a couple times somewhere along the line that as far as he knows he's the only one paying up front...everyone else has a 30-day credit.
Agree with the comment below... Possibly see if you can get COD or even CIA..
You have built up a good reputation and you are an Honest person. You go out and hustle your butt off..
Don't let the big guys get in your way.. Just stay true to yourself and always do a little extra for each customer.. I found that really helped my growth.
God bless you and your team.. 🙏🙏

If I lived in and around mammoth lake I would love to work for you. You sound like a great boss to work for
On those flat roofs I would cut big blocks perhaps with a wire. Then tip the blocks onto a tarp and drag it to the edge. Easy peasy shitten from a couch 😉
The city fathers should realize this is a public safety issue. What happens to fire, ambulance, and police services when accessibility is compromised?
also roof collapses due to slowing down the snow removal process by charging insane front charges which limit the ability to bring in more trucks to haul more snow sooner
The snow pit is a city scam, you should have your clients complain to the city! You should charge more to clients so they will talk to the city!
It’s California nothing else needs saying
If your a tax payer no criminal record you get screwed now if you don’t contribute to society just take !have a criminal record and been a nuisance California wants you !
Sounds like you got some real greedy Dreamboats taking advantage of the newer blood in town
Unfair Business Practices
Laws proscribing unfair competition and unfair business practices are intended to protect rival competitors and consumers. “Unfair competition” is defined in section 17200 of the CA Business and Professions Code as encompassing any one of the following five types of business “wrongs”:
(1) an “unlawful” business act or practice;
(2) an “unfair” business act or practice;
(3) a “fraudulent” business act or practice;
(4) “unfair, deceptive, untrue or misleading advertising”; and
(5) any act prohibited by sections 17500- 17577.5.
With respect to the terms “act” and “practice,” the statute thus far has been construed to encompass most conduct; even a one-time act has been deemed sufficient to allege a Section 17200 claim.
Get yourself a snow melter, boom problem solved
Trecan snowmelter used at airports has to cost less than 10k per day
All about the Benjamin$ brotha.
Get outta there!
Sounds like you're between a rock & a hard spot, are your snow removal jobs on a contract or by the job? This excessive snow fall has created conditions that call for drastic measures, I would suggest you talk to your customers and be right up front; tell them they need to pay ASAP, no 30 days may 5-10 at the most. You know the old saying "no tickey, no laundry!
Is it possible, and I'm sure you and your team have thought of this, but, is it possible to dump on any of the sites your building or will be building new homes on for the snow to melt later on down the road if this ridiculous pit situation keeps F'ing you guys?
@15:10 Sam Bankman-Fried is moving snow in Mammoth.
Sounds like an extortion racket to me.. time to sue the contractor and town..
Typical west coast town and city nowadays. Run by the purple hair klux clan
@@ponolovefarms3926 all I gotta say is if these purple hairs don't want thier building collapsing from the snow load they'd best figure out a way to cooperate
Are you being treated differently? Is the fee per truck or based on weight, that would potentially a big difference? Who is benefitting from these fees and is it fair?
🔥🔥🔥I hope someone relays this message to you ! Go talk to your State Representative for your area! You must! 🔥🔥🔥
You try doing that and see if they'll call you back
@@johnjaco5544 they all part of the good ol boy network . . . Politicians! 🤫
@@johnjaco5544 you go to their office
@@comontoshi Your state rep is there for exactly these situations. Has nothing to do with political views it is business within theirs’ and everyone else’s communities interests.
@Area one the “rep” for this area is a Republican . . . 🤫
Yep I would be looking into other ways to get rid of the snow for next year,that a bunch of bull crap. You spend money in labor,fuel machines and now a huge chunk to dump snow which will turn to water once it melts. Yeah I get it there’s a lot of snow and it needs to go away. Your going to go broke 28k for 4-5 days so if you have to use the dump for 30 days thats $ 168k lost plus fuel and labor. Yeah I would find another way for sure
California is under an emergency order. Prices can't be increased more than 10% over regular pricing. Talk to the California AG.
Stop digging out hotels and visitor’s vehicles then watch the attitudes change! It’s all about the $$$. 😎
How is all that exposed obs going to do after the big melt? Seems like it would rot, delaminate
Stop complaining to the city officials that appear not to care call your state senator make him work for his job this sounds like total miss use of what little authority they have over you guys.. your trying to provide a much needed service
To bad you can’t dump in that new development. Empty lot or end of the lot.
I know this is so far fetched and can't be done, but to bad you couldn't haul the snow to Lake Mead to help the low water level there!
Why would a Hotel have a flat roof in deep snow prone region?????
Can Mountain Operations at Mammoth Mountain help you? Used to be Clifford Mann was in charge of Mountain Operations, in 2013-14.
Been watching this channel for a while.. what a MAMMOTH undertaking...
They need to change them dump fees & regs. It's basically highway robbery.
Maybe rent snow melter dump snow in water out
I don’t understand why they are charging these fees in the first place….
My understanding is the city has to pay the forest service to lease the land. Then the city subcontracted the lease and pit operations to a local company. Company claims they're just trying to make their money back, but I'm sure if there were environmental issues the subcontractor would be able to weasle out of liability and the taxpayers would get the bill...again. Tangled web they weave, and everybody takes a cut of the pie.
I went to Cal.gov asked for Snow removal contractors and found state is soliciting for contractor's. Did you know They are reimbursing each county for snow removal. I read there is a Severe Storm Weather Fund for highway and streets snow clearing. Now that explains why so many snow clearing is being done on the Interstates and highways. WOW go figure. So what about small business and homeowners that may be FEMA.
Maybe you should take a step back...help where is needed. There is prob decade of relationships that is build in the community and the work help feed ppl that works their for decades. If your heart is in the right place I hope they will let you in and help clear all the snow and make it a much safer place for everyone.
I will no longer complain that I have to clear my roof when the snow reaches 3 feet thick.
I don't get why they are charging so much. I'd be fighting it. If you get more snow I'd be interested in coming and running equipment. Can't shovel but I have a class a and heavy equipment experience.
👍👍
How did Owen do with the loader? Was that him driving backwards across the screen?
Stock up on printer ink!
You need to contribute to the campaign of the local politicians no matter the party.They only take calls from contributors so whoever wins give them money.Then you will get call backs its not a good thing but it is real life in politics.Charge the clients for all the costs it takes to stay in business and not go broke.Be carefull and dont underbid jobs that make you pay out of your profit for a loss.I have a 30 + year cali business and its not easy to survive but its better than when i was digging ditches .Keep a positive attitude life goes fast.
I wonder why you don’t use zip board the moisture in that floor will take a year to dry out and no zip on walls please explain thanks y
There’s an old fashioned thing called a strike. 🤔
How much you pay for shovelers and how much you bill out per hour for payment ? If you don’t mind me asking?
Looks like blue bird weather till Sat. or Sunday. Should be cold so light fluffy blower pow....
Wow! Does it snow this much every year?
How cold is it? I am in Canada and we can start vehicles in some nasty cold weather.
If that city is going to do you like that an all your trying to do is help these people then maybe you should step off an make them need you because from what I've learned through out the years is people take for granted what they have so if they don't have you what would they do
Load Queen , 🤣. Sorry I had to.
🌹🌹
I have operated and repaired hard rock drilling rigs, moved snow with skid steers and blowers. I loaded dump trucks and taught hydraulics to experienced wrench turners. But, when it comes to dealing with City bureaucrats or the guys at your snow dump site, you'd get better advice from me if you were asking how to deal with a hysterical ex-wife.
Full disclosure. I REALLY sucked at dealing with any hysterical woman but ESPECIALLY my ex-wife.
Pretty jacked up situation
When you meet with the city officials tell them either I start hauling snow without all the excess fees from the contractor or you'll call the FBI and let them know everything that is going on
Wow..what kind of profit is left after that??.
Good luck.
Why didn’t the snow slide off the metal roof by itself?
Why can't you use show blowes up on the roofs
Depends on the roofs too. Many that they are doing are on metal roofs with seams that stick up. And you can only go down on most roof shingles...not across.
Re your discussion about peoples comments, To the couch critics, listen up, this RUclips channel is not a training course, the content in fact is for entertainment. Why would anyone bitch and complain? Watch the vids, be entertained and relax, or, better yet start your own channel. One thing I noticed on my small channel, the bitchy people never have a channel. Lol. Good bud today , enjoyed it. Cheers
Thirty 4th 👊🏻💪🏻
I just wonder what kind of weight you are looking at with that much snow. I wonder how much 1sqf of snow 6 feet deep would weigh.
I've seen roofs collapse and walls bow out in the past. My relatives neighbors garage roof caved in partially this time.
Did you see the last video comments where I sniffed out the contractor by mentioning the owner of the land and he responded with "We have a 3 year lease"
He didn’t say “we” as in the contractor, he was saying “we” as in mammoth the town.
@@terrypercy So then town hired them to manage it? How come some of the older snow pits in the past aren't being used? USFS said no?
@@GT-mn3bx I would say a mix between that and the cost/man power involved in operating it.
@@terrypercy Really, all they need is someone preventing dumping trash which believe it or not happens alot in the woods and backroads.
@@GT-mn3bx yeah, both my parents live on country roads, with about a km of land, ends up needing to be cleared nearly daily to protect moo moos
The feds need to step in.
how much are you paying these out of town guys to run equipment. keep on crushing it. we're getting jack shit here on the east coast of PA
What would happen if you stopped removing snow for Mammoth?
The town would have come to a stand still And none of the vendors stores or operators would have made any money that's what I've been
@@johnjaco5544. Then that is what should happen, with a well publicized explanation of why you stopped. Perhaps that would light a bonfire under city government
Actually there are several local contractors doing the jobs, and one of those contractors has the subcontract on the lease on the pit. Some of those local contractors (the good old boys) don't like the newcomer dipping into their snow removal profits, so they're trying to make things difficult by charging huge fees up front. They would like him to throw in the towel because then all the snow removal jobs and revenue will be theirs...the way they want it.
You need to rent a snow melting machine.
Thats just a flat scam! Too bad that the city and that bunch of thieves at the pit are seemingly in cahoots. such a shame. Todd the retired trucker.
seems like if you bought your own land to dump snow on you would be in good shape.
Land certainly does not at a premium in a town by a ski resort...
I also think it might be a good idea for the people following this and finding out about it call city hall and go what the heck is going on how come everybody else's got credit with the pits but this guy doesn't. It seems like a nice guy is running a good business why won't you let him dump his trucks full of snow with the same credit as your other people and why won't the city or why hasn't the city stepped in to see what's going on. Couldn't hurt
Aloha! Teri...I'm from Hawaii and called the Mayor of Mammoth a few days ago, left a proper concerned message but I think it falls on deaf ears. --- M.S.A.
@@MSAUSA70 Well thank you so much for answering my concern I've just been following him since all that snow hit listening to him and watching him do his job and and and hes been working awful hard so then all of a sudden this came up and they were asking for you know 10000 bucks A-day and that's just like crazy. Anyway thank you so much and hopefully you've got another bunch of snow coming so I'm hoping that somehow whatever is the problem will get worked out so that people can get the snow removed and those doing it can afford to do it. Thank you very much for responding... Praying for you
@@terizumbusch8408 This all came about when he started talking about bringing up 15 trucks to get the snow moved. The good old boys didn't want him dipping into their profits, so the games began.
Sounds like they're gouging you since they have a monopoly. I wonder if a Federal official can look into this. Also I hope the residents, business owners...TAX PAYERS see this and can put massive pressure on the so-called Officials.
I would NOT haul snow, and just let the city figure out how to remove the snow.
U can’t win they are snow balling u!!!!🤬🤬
He could show his prices and the prices of others and let folks know what is going on.
Who is the contractor running the Pit? The contractor is clearly not from a small town and does not understand the importance of having good relationships.
It usually boils down to greed
Dude, WAKE UP,STOP HAULING,"let them eat sñow"
1st
Hey brother, get yourself a nice drone!!🤙🏻keep up the good work
I think you need a good lawyer.
I don’t know how any of this stuff works, but I have seen Go Fund Me things less worthy of support.
Do a go fund me to pay your deposits and when you have recovered your financial stability, take the total of the go fund me donations and
start a charity of your choice.
Sounds like you pi#&ed off the good old boys to me, but you surely shouldn’t lose your business over this.
Good luck
Love the videos!
Keep ‘em coming!
Sorry if I missed it but Have you considered a lawyer to help you?
How can they justify charging soo much for storing snow?? It's F'ng snow, it will melt! Are they processing it, making igloos or something? LOL
This is getting ridiculous Man U shouldn’t have to keep paying this money and everyone else isnt and the town is really bad and you should sue the town for all the money u have spent
The policy’s are not in your favor cut and run while you can and form a small business maybe elseware Well I’m just calling it as I see it
what exactly is the deal with the deposits, do they refund this back to you or is really not a deposit but a fee they are charging and falsely calling it a deposit? I
