‼️❄️💨📣 Weather Update 📣💨❄️‼️

Sunday 3/15/26 5:30pm announcement:

Although the plows have been doing a wonderful job today and the blizzard warning has dropped down to a winter storm warning, I have still decided to push all routes back one day this week due to the high wind. I went out for a test drive and there are some drifts starting and the visibility is poor in some areas (not to mention the potential for blown over carts). Therefore routes will look like this:

Monday 3/16/26: no trucks running
MONDAY routes - picked up on Tuesday 3/17/26
TUESDAY routes - picked up on Wednesday 3/18/26
WEDNESDAY routes - picked up on Thursday 3/19/26
THURSDAY routes - picked up on Friday 3/20/26

Emails going out now.
We appreciate your understanding!
Please drive safe ❤️

Mother Nature is at it again! We are going to move all routes back one day the rest of this week. We spend our Tuesdays in Rice Lake and the predicted freezing rain and dense fog there today is the reason for our shift. Routes will look like this:

TUESDAY routes - picked up on Wednesday 1/7/26
WEDNESDAY routes - picked up on Thursday 1/8/26
THURSDAY routes - picked up on Friday 1/9/26

Drive safe please ❤️

‼️❄️📣 Weather Update 📣❄️‼️

Sunday 12/28/25 announcement:

We decided to shift all routes due to the amount of snow that we’re getting. We’d like to give people time to clear their driveways, and the plows a chance to clear the roads without our carts in the way.

💥MONDAY ROUTES💥 please check your email as I’m shifting all but one route to Tuesday. One of my drivers had made arrangements to be off Tuesday, so *just his* Monday routes will move to Wednesday.

MONDAY routes - picked up on Tuesday 12/30
*please confirm with your email*
TUESDAY routes - picked up on Wednesday 12/31
WEDNESDAY routes - picked up on Thursday 1/1 (New Years Day)
THURSDAY routes - picked up on Friday 1/2

Thank you for understanding.
Stay safe and good luck shoveling!

6:00am on Wednesday 12/10/25:

We have made the decision to push routes back one day this week. It was a tough call as some of the roads we run are clear already (thanks to our county’s plow guys!), but most of our routes are rural and those roads and driveways need some more time.

Routes will look like this:
WEDNESDAY routes - picked up on Thursday 12/11/25
THURSDAY routes - picked up on Friday 12/12/25

We apologize for the inconvenience and as always appreciate your understanding ❤️

4:30am on Wednesday 11/26/25:

Due to the current winter storm we are experiencing, we have made the decision to shift WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY routes one day this week.

Routes will look like this:
WEDNESDAY routes - picked up on Thursday 11/27/25 (Thanksgiving Day)
THURSDAY routes - picked up on Friday 11/28/25
*Please expect pick up times to vary due to weather and the holiday*

We apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your understanding while we keep our drivers and equipment safe and off bad roads.

I’m feeling warm and fuzzy and just want to THANK all of the wonderful customers that we have ❤️❤️ There are pros and cons to dealing with a small business. Pro is that you always talk with me, not a random person in another state. We get to know eachother and I like that! Con is that sometimes I have to be a mom and I just can’t be at my desk. This week, I am at a 3-day horse camp with our daughter and her days are packed from 6am until 8pm. She is having a blast! I try and maintain good communication at all times with our current and future customers, so I changed my voicemail to explain the situation and that I’ll return missed calls and messages this Friday when I return. I can’t say how good it feels listening to these wonderful messages you all are leaving 🥹🥰 I’ve been so stressed missing calls and I’m sitting here listening to those missed call messages feeling so happy.

So, thank you.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for understanding.
