How to charge for snow removal?

[MTplainsman]

I know the rate will vary from area to area, but I'm just trying to calculate an idea of the average. I have a 2010 Bobcat S-250 with 2-speed and 8' snow bucket. I have only done a couple snow jobs with it, but didn't really know what to ask an hour. A man asked me the other day what I charge and I said $90. He was surprised with that price, As he does a little part-time removal too. He had asked a couple others around the area, and they were about $75. Me not knowing what to charge, I just did it for the same price as I do dirt work. I know that snow work entails far less wear and tear than the heavy dirt work. I don't wanna scalp anyone, yet I don't wanna be too low either. So, what prices do you charge or get charged in you neck of the woods?

around here it's generally a price below X inches and a price above X inches.

Maine...
Our 900 ft driveway cost 75 a trip...about 20mins of work with plowtruck...if we need a tractor its hourly.

Verify you have insurance for this. Our insurance company sent out a notice this year that they are no longer insuring commercial snow removal. Not an issue for us since we don't. It was a form letter to all policy holders. So watch out, yours could vanish. This was Farm Family.

Our current rates:
Truck/plow $80 per hour
Loader $110 per hour
Sidewalks shovel/blower $45 per hour
We do strictly commercial properties and start moving snow at 1", and return every inch or so.

I haven't looked into insurance yet, but will certainly be necessary if I will do many more jobs.

So far $90 doesn't sound to overboard.

The company I work for charges 85.00 an hour for a skid and a blower.

On route it would be the time it takes to plow, special trip would include travel time( usually 1 hour min.)
