Maybe check with other businesses and contractors to see if they need work shirts or anything printed. Seems like you have a nice little operation that could be expanded if needed and making money outside of your own merch.
The best thing I’ve found is growing weed during the winter months. Everyone always wants weed. If your guys would like to book some classes with me to teach them let me know. It’s a great little side hustle that they can take with them anywhere in the world. Haha
I say that because I don’t know how many times I’ve wrote out a thoughtful inquiry on the item I want to purchase. 90% of seller still ignore and don’t even have the decency to say no I don’t have the item or I’ve got a buyer already. You guys can botch all you want but most people are assholes on market place.
@Daddy_Potaytoe only on marketplace? I think most people are just assholes! lol But I prefer the thoughtful inquiries, but I try to respond to everyone. Even with multiple people interested. Then follow up once I sell it.
old foundry that i worked for did layoffs. they would go around and ask for volunteers then if they didn't get enough, they would start at the lowest seniority and lay off.
I just found your videos, I love them. I just purchased one of your hats and used your code to purchase a coat as well. Merry Christmas to you and your family and your employees
Those new bungee tie downs are amazing! Please tell me you are gonna sell those in the Merch shop so I can get a few sets of them to use on my skid and excavator! 😂😂😂😂
I don't have any Milwaukee stuff, tape measure and shit like that. Have a ton of DeWalt and some Ridgid tools. I've used my buddy's Milwaukee drills and stuff and they work great.
I have a family owned landscape construction company in Boston, Massachusetts and the last three winters have completely killed us. My father’s been in business since 1980 and let me tell you you gotta get real fucking creative to keep guys on and keep them busy because as you know, it’s hard to find good guys like you have. Keep fighting the fight. Good luck pray for the snow.!
Use white toothpaste on the dry erase board where it’s been rubbed off with fingers , wipe toothpaste on it then wipe off will tericloth , works great.
Here in Maine a contract means a set price for plowing the whole winter which also means when it doesn’t snow you still get paid, is that not normal out there?
Yes absolutely. You figure about how many times you'll plow and write up the contract and get paid in full. Some like to do per push too which would be more expensive if it snowed a lot but you just never know. I lived in Maine over 20 years ago, I lived in S. Portland.
I just did an oil cooler on a 280. It was the same complaint but much worse It was blowing coolant and oil out of the overflow. There’s like a nut cap right underneath that reservoir you can take it off the two coolant lines. I put a plate on the back of the oil side with a clamp filled with brake cleaner. Then added compressed air into the coolant side, and it was leaking through to test.
I got laid off at june and also retired at 52 and honestly, I wish I’d done it sooner. The 9-to-5 grind always steals your freedom for a paycheck that barely scratches the surface. My advice? If you’re in your late 30s or early 40s, start saving for FIRE now (Financial Independence, Retire Early.) And if you’re in your 50s, invest smartly and break free from relying on your job. Market trends, like the Trump Effect, have made millions for many, including me. Stay focused, stay consistent, and remember financial freedom is within reach if you make it a priority.
Working with Lorrie Greta Hillard , a financial advisor, was a game changer. She helped me refine my savings strategy, including retirement planning, and provided expert guidance on investments and budgeting to maximize my savings.
Well Congratulations ! That’s the whole point , sure glad i stuck around for the last 30 seconds of this video. I was so worried if Caleb puts a lot of thought into these videos . Wow
@ I was being sarcastic! You have a great channel keep being authenticity that’s what makes your channel stand out from the rest !! 🥶 Pagel Services to the moon 🌙!
Dan doing circles around the shop ..hey man I’m getting 3 years worth of tools out of the truck ..has 4 wrenches laying on the seat ..doesn’t have a spec of dirt or a drop of sweat coming off him …working hard in the shop boss
I use Craigslist or offer up can't stand marketplace. Tell them boys to treat Your trucks like they are yours and not theirs. I thought you flat landers had snow year round. Great video
I agree I had cash for a mower and the meeting point messaged the guy I’m on my way he said great. I get there at the scheduled tine no response. Wait for 30 minutes checked it said item no longer available.
That's when they don't want to listen you give them a push lawn mower and say here can't dig your wheel in there no more when you can learn to listen you'll get the zero steer back
I'd say I wish for snow, but my business does better with cold and not as much snow. So let's hope for cold up here in East Central MN and snow for you in SW WI!!
what about looking more into commercial property maintenance, emptying garbage cans , cleaning windows that sort of thing . or look into doing maybe equipment /lawn equipment small engine repairs for customers. You seem to have some employees with mechanical abilities
@@ArmourFence Hello, yes most companies in my area charge a flat fee for the first 3-6 inches and then an additional fee for each inch after. They make great money if we have a long winter but if we have a short winter like last year they get screwed. The way I do it is I charge for the season so at the end of the season I get paid whether it snows or not and all my cashflow is paid upfront, therefor I don't need to lay anyone off. I am assuming he charges by the inch or by the plow and not from x month to x month.
I feel your pain Caleb with the lack of snow, same shit over here on the east coast NO FUCKIN SNOW!!!! I use to count on it as 20-25 % of my yearly income, past few years I’ve given up and took more hours regular work driving truck, I miss that white gold, people say it’s El Niño IDK?
You say unemployment but it’s not just go on unemployment lol my job had us on unemployment for a whole year every other week bc we lost hours and it’s not that easy anymore it’s more of a struggle
KALEB I JUST ORDERED ONE OF THEM ORANGE HOODIES! My names Tyler lol I hope you see my order! I took a screen shot of the order number! I’ll let you know when receive my orange hoodie I got XXL size in case they shrink! Love your content I hope I have a chance to win that Milwaukee tool set! THIS WAY HOPEUFULLY ppl at my concrete job sees you RUclips and business! And im the one that messages you on Facebook about doing concrete for you!
When Will it Snow? By Sara Fox My hands are cold And so are my toes It’s winter time So when will it snow? My ears are cold And so is my nose It’s winter time So when will it snow?

15% of our accounts are. The issue is, Customers in our area are realizing how much snow we are not getting anymore. So they know they are better of per event. Its tricky. Thanks for watching!
@ I’m ready to move to Florida lol I friggin hate winter. Hope it snows for you guys. How do you like this westerns? We run the fishers same plow basically. We have only had a few events here in Maine nothing crazy
I used to love plowing snow. But after these last few winters of no snow, people bitching. I'm over it. Even when it snows I get stressed out. I'm a very small company, if I had as many employees as you, I'd be insane.
Kaleb ill tell you what happens with like your situations on marketplace. When anyone opens a item to just look at it it automatically sends seller a message is this available! So when you come along your actually interested in the item and you send what you did " hello is it available"? Nobody reply because they are tired of the is this available messages and does not reply to your message...just send a different message like I have cash ready to buy now please reply back to me I'm in ( town)..
What other ideas do you have to keep the guys making money in the winter???
Maybe check with other businesses and contractors to see if they need work shirts or anything printed. Seems like you have a nice little operation that could be expanded if needed and making money outside of your own merch.
I always got by with doing land clearing driveways and shit during the winter
The best thing I’ve found is growing weed during the winter months. Everyone always wants weed. If your guys would like to book some classes with me to teach them let me know. It’s a great little side hustle that they can take with them anywhere in the world. Haha
Flip house is the answer my guy.
@@mattburgdorf2721 unless they can beat the price of another small business in SW Wisconsin that's not going to happen
Every time I get a "Hello, is this available?" I want to instantly ignore that person!
You hafto. Don't respond, just hit ignore.
I say that because I don’t know how many times I’ve wrote out a thoughtful inquiry on the item I want to purchase. 90% of seller still ignore and don’t even have the decency to say no I don’t have the item or I’ve got a buyer already.

@@ryancox2799 that’s true.
It don't hurt to ask if something is available because half the time people don't take down their post and are like oh ya I sold it two weeks ago.
Really love the channel, hard to find genuine people on RUclips anymore
Appreciate all the work you guys put into making quality videos. Thank you for that!
I truly hope this channel gets bigger and bigger. Love this channel so much. Best channel on youtube. Keep it up guys!
No matter how big we get, we won't forget guys like you that were here early giving us the support! thanks man!
@@pagelservices absolutely man! I hope you guys hung up the calendar i sent you somewhere good. Like the shitter!! Haha... Love you guys man
old foundry that i worked for did layoffs. they would go around and ask for volunteers then if they didn't get enough, they would start at the lowest seniority and lay off.
The music was a good touch moving the dirt loader lol
I just found your videos, I love them. I just purchased one of your hats and used your code to purchase a coat as well. Merry Christmas to you and your family and your employees
i just dropped it off at the post office! Thanks!
Those new bungee tie downs are amazing! Please tell me you are gonna sell those in the Merch shop so I can get a few sets of them to use on my skid and excavator! 😂😂😂😂
And I thank you for that. All that hard work going to these videos I love them.
Great videos if those were DeWalt tools I might make a purchase😂😂 happy holidays to all of you guys and girls
I don't have any Milwaukee stuff, tape measure and shit like that. Have a ton of DeWalt and some Ridgid tools. I've used my buddy's Milwaukee drills and stuff and they work great.
I really enjoy your videos keep them coming I live in Southeast Texas so we don't get any snow I love looking at it on TV LOL.
Youll see more snow when we finally get some haha! Thanks for Watching!
I live in WI and definitely will NOT be praying for snow. 40 degrees next week!
This weather is discouraging. I’m in the Pacific north west and we have no snow here either. It definitely hurts the pocket book.
I love the bosses attitude! 🤣
I have a family owned landscape construction company in Boston, Massachusetts and the last three winters have completely killed us.

Sending prayers for snow from Milwaukee, we need it too!
Possibly a little tonight, fingers crossed!
Love it when they call for 1-3 and it vanishes right over top of ya!
Use white toothpaste on the dry erase board where it’s been rubbed off with fingers , wipe toothpaste on it then wipe off will tericloth , works great.

I'm not from up north but that makes sense.

Exactly My point! The 9 to 5 grind is just not worth it the stress and low payoff. What specific steps did you take to break free?
Working with Lorrie Greta Hillard , a financial advisor, was a game changer. She helped me refine my savings strategy, including retirement planning, and provided expert guidance on investments and budgeting to maximize my savings.
Got it! Thanks for the tip! I was curious, so I looked up Lorrie
9-5 is a complete waste of time!
I’ve worked with “dans” before. Always looking busy like they are doing something but never actually do anything.
Lmaoo that’s crazy because I have a Dan I work with and he’s like that
Haha thinking the exact same thing
Cant be the same dan I'm working with can it? This guy puts more effort into not doing anything
We label everything. We even label gas, diesel, etc We have had people put diesel in gas multiple times.
Have to make it as simple as possible... or dummy proof lol
@@pagelservices don't forget to grab the adapter for miluakkee battery you can run your gopro off of which might solve the over heat issue.
Well Congratulations ! That’s the whole point , sure glad i stuck around for the last 30 seconds of this video. I was so worried if Caleb puts a lot of thought into these videos . Wow
Just being transparent. A lot of clowns in the comments think I don't do anything...

We have great customers!

Haha, thanks for watching!
We haven’t had a good plow year here since 2017 in my part of Ontario Canada where we were out like every couple days. Last year we plowed 3 times.
I live 45 minutes north of Denver and last year we didn't get very much snow and so far this year we've had a half inch and it's almost Christmas
I agree I had cash for a mower and the meeting point messaged the guy I’m on my way he said great. I get there at the scheduled tine no response. Wait for 30 minutes checked it said item no longer available.
In Texas it’s 78 degrees at 4pm and grass is green and still growing
Did you guys do a pressure test on the engine to make sure there's no leaks
We need some bright white cover ....enuff of the dull brown outside
Praying for snow in your area and Central Ohio this season
Very aggravating and Frustrating how they treat your new Equipment... Total Disrespectful
Sending prayers for snow!
Thanks bud!
I send.
Prayers for snow.I hope you get five feet in two days
That's when they don't want to listen you give them a push lawn mower and say here can't dig your wheel in there no more when you can learn to listen you'll get the zero steer back
Sending prayers for snow ❄️
Thanks!
I'd say I wish for snow, but my business does better with cold and not as much snow. So let's hope for cold up here in East Central MN and snow for you in SW WI!!
lol, Cold is good to. Ground Freeze all winter would be nice!
what about looking more into commercial property maintenance, emptying garbage cans , cleaning windows that sort of thing . or look into doing maybe equipment /lawn equipment small engine repairs for customers. You seem to have some employees with mechanical abilities
Mabey this winter you can have the guys paint the dirt screener and the conveyer in the company colors ..😊😊
Possibly lol.
I think the dirt screener would look great. Painted up.
And let's not forget about the dump truck..
Praying for snow! 🤞🏻🫡
Totally agree with you about marketplace!!! Something needs done to weed out idiots
Why not charge customers for the season apposed to by the inch? Will they not sign up if you do?
By the inch?? I've never heard of such BLASPHEMY!! It's per push or contract!!......By the inch,.....😅😅😅😅

Let’s all send prayers for snow before Kaleb needs antidepressants 😃
They just had ice to deal with Saturday and snow in the forecast this week
@ good to hear! I’m here in New Hampshire so not aware of weather out there. We have had 2 plowable storms here.
We just had 6 feet of snow in 2 days in erie pa about 3 weeks ago. The last 2 winters we probably haven't hit 40 inches.
Same. I’m north of you in Ontario. The last 3 years we had barely any snow. Got hit hard here 3 weeks ago
Heres your sign!🙏🏻👍🏻
Prayer to the snow gods for you. I need it to dump here as well
Lets Say a prayer together lol
20:38 prop needs a new headlight harness. mine did the same on my 11 chevy. hope this helps if yall didnt fix it.
Copy that! Your correct lol
I love your channel. I decided to get myself Christmas gift 🎁 I just oder a sweatshirt.
awesome, thank you so much! will ship out at 8am tomorrow
@pagelservices thank you guys!
Here in canada we got more then enough snow maybe come to Canada 😂😂😂
Watched while pooping on the clock. 10/10 recommend
Only had one push this fall out here in northern Wyoming.
As a mail carrier, I’m down with the global warming. As a businessman like yourself, I feel for you.
Maybe repair and fix some older equipment and sell this winter since you have that Awesome Heated Shop and some good employees
Going to have to say Victory was always my Favorite but you guys have surpassed them. Great content!
That's nice to hear, we still watch some of Ryans videos!
Sending prayers for ❄️ ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🎅
100% about the people on market place
Nr.1 Micromanager in the world!
Appreciate it! thanks!

"Market Place' Never ask if it's still available. If it's posted it's available!!
Not always
Those 10k bungees are a scam, just double up tarp bungees I do it daily 8 of those and skids not moving at all.
Do you have state emissions
Wisconsin doesn't unless for commercial vehicles
I haven't watched the video yet, that's Dan Derek Chris and tech. The ones that are getting the boot
Kaleb, thank you!
It’s very rarely that you find a buy on marketplace. It’s always BS always. Winter work have the guys paint all the trailers
Painting trailers ain't making the company no profit
@ yeah let’s put food on your guys table quit buying plows and shit that you don’t need you got 10 of them
Dan is the star of the show for me and the wife
Love your channel you guys are doing great....less memes in the videos please..lots of snow up in canada I'll send some your way 😉
And then I send prayers that it keeps on snowing a foot every other day
I enjoy your channel as much as Victory’s.
Glad to hear it!
Shawn is like the chillest dude on the crew, seems to not give a fuck about anything.
You say unemployment but it’s not just go on unemployment lol my job had us on unemployment for a whole year every other week bc we lost hours and it’s not that easy anymore it’s more of a struggle
Good news on the skid steer.Could have been major $
Great video!
Cheers!
Send snow to Pagel please.
Let it snow let it snow
Fuck I have a lawyer kinda like that, so I feel your pain brother.

When Will it Snow?
By Sara Fox
My hands are cold
And so are my toes
It’s winter time
So when will it snow?
My ears are cold
And so is my nose
It’s winter time
So when will it snow?
The trees are bare
The north wind doth blow
It’s winter time
So when will it snow?
I’m wrapped up warm
The fire is aglow
It’s winter time
I wish it would snow.
I'm trying to send some snow from Canada!!
Marketplace is going to shit everything on there that you can get your hands on is junk
Holy cow, I watch every episode. I can't finish. Quit being a bitsy. Put d rock on
lol Thanks!
@pagelservices your welcome
you should work on getting sponsors that agree with your values . plenty of them out there .
Sounds like we're getting a couple rounds the next couple days though, so hopefully, you don't have to lay off Kaleb!
Switch to seasonal contracts.
15% of our accounts are. The issue is, Customers in our area are realizing how much snow we are not getting anymore. So they know they are better of per event. Its tricky. Thanks for watching!
@ I’m ready to move to Florida lol I friggin hate winter. Hope it snows for you guys. How do you like this westerns? We run the fishers same plow basically. We have only had a few events here in Maine nothing crazy
John with the long hair looks like Jim Carrey.
I say put everyone in a ring and let them box it out. The first ones out get layoff papers..Dan and Sean will mop up everyone.
Praying to the snow gods. Did it for 30 years. I know what you go through.
Its tough. thanks bud, appreciate it!
Ill try n send some snow from ont canada to u.....wait,we dont hav any either😢
Maybe get a new mowing crew if they can't handle a simple task like not turning in the same spot.
Can you shoot plowing content with Derrick?
We talked about it lol
Holly is first as she is sleeping with the boss.
For sure!
Hate to say it but I agree.
I used to love plowing snow. But after these last few winters of no snow, people bitching. I'm over it. Even when it snows I get stressed out. I'm a very small company, if I had as many employees as you, I'd be insane.

Its. a weird system lol
The backspace key works to delete the pre generated message. Then again common sense is the least common it's ever been

Thanks bud!
