Compensation

Each contractor or employee is typically assigned 5–15 driveways, providing a stable monthly income.

- Guarantee: You keep your monthly payment even if it doesn’t snow.
- Ice Melt + Rock Chip: Provided to you at no cost throughout the season, so you can apply it for clients who have selected Ice Melt + Rock Chip.
- Payment Structure: Based on driveway size, ranging from $142 to $227 per driveway per month.
- Example: 10 driveways at $168/month = $1,680 monthly income.
- Missed Snowfalls: If you’re unable to complete your route on a day it snows, the Per Temp/Clear Snowfall Price (see Payment Structure below) for each missed driveway will be deducted from your next payment, as we will need to pay someone else to clear those driveways.
- Payroll Schedule: Paid semi-monthly — half on the 7th and half on the 22nd of each month. The season starts November 1st, your first payment will be November 22nd and your last payment will be April 7th.

Other (Driveways under 500 sq ft or over 3000 sq ft)
- Pricing dependent on driveway size

*Payment Per Month is based on a 65/35 split. For example, if a client has a small (S) driveway, they pay $219, resulting in you being paid $142 (65%) and us being paid $77 (35%) to cover the money and effort we put into acquiring the client. While the majority of clients pay the standard price outlined in the payment structure, if a client pays more or less than the standard price, such as when a small discount is granted to earn their business, the 65/35 split is based on what the client actually pays.

Position Requirements

Driver’s License & Transportation:

- You must have a Class 5 driver’s license and your own vehicle to travel between driveways.
- If managing more than 12,500 sq ft (approximately 10 driveways), you are required to have a truck or a vehicle with a trailer hitch.

Tool Requirements You must have the following professional-grade tools:
- Push Shovel
- Scoop Shovel
- Scraper
- Backpack Blower

If managing more than 12,500 sq ft (approximately 10 driveways), a snow thrower is required. If you don’t have a backpack blower or snow thrower, we recommend purchasing one through a marketplace such as Facebook Marketplace or Kijiji, unless you’re interested in the Rent To Own Program outlined below.

Rent To Own Program





This program makes sense if you’re looking for the most convenient and safe option. Payments are made as deductions from your pay cheque, so there will be 10 deductions throughout the season since you’re paid semi-monthly. You can find more details about the payroll schedule under the Compensation section.

New Backpack Blower (ECHO PB-770T)

- Deduction Per Pay Cheque: $75
- Total Deductions ($ x 10): $750

Used Backpack Blower (ECHO PB-770T)
- Deduction Per Pay Cheque: $50
- Total Deductions ($ x 10): $500

New Snow Thrower (Toro or Honda)
- Deduction Per Pay Cheque: $120–$150 (depending on model)
- Total Deductions ($ x 10): $1,200–$1,500 (depending on model)

Used Snow Thrower (Toro or Honda)
- Deduction Per Pay Cheque: $60–$100 (depending on model)
- Total Deductions ($ x 10): $600–$1,000 (depending on model)

Key Responsibilities

- Timeliness:

This is our top priority and is non-negotiable. You may begin as early as you’d like, but no later than 7:00 AM. We will make the dispatch call at 6:30 AM, with the expectation that your first driveway is cleared by 7:30 AM. Gas-powered equipment cannot be used before 7:00 AM.
- Quality:

Every driveway must be maintained in excellent condition through consistent, detail-oriented service. Driveways are to be cleared down to the surface, with a clean, defined edge maintained from the start to the end of the season. All areas you are responsible for must remain tire-track free and fully cleared, upholding our Tire-Track-Free Guarantee, as long as the client has selected Ice Melt + Rock Chip. Thank you for taking the time to review this opportunity for the upcoming snow removal season.

We look forward to the possibility of welcoming you to the Max Yardcare+ team.
