Free snow storm log and billing sheet

Most snow billing arguments are not about the number. They are about "I don't remember you coming." One sheet per storm, filled in at each site, gives you the answer.

What should a snow storm log record? One line per site: when you arrived, when you left, what you did (plow, salt, shovel), how much salt went down, and whether you took before and after photos. Add a notes line for anything a customer could question later, such as cars in the way, a locked gate or drifting after you left. That is enough to answer most billing disputes.

What goes on the sheet

Storm header

Storm name or date, snow total, ice or freezing rain yes or no, crew lead, trucks out, start and finish times.

One row per site

Site or address, arrival and leave times, and boxes for plow, salt and shovel. Salt amount in tons, bags or pounds.

Photos and initials

Yes or no on whether before and after photos were taken, and the initials of whoever did the work.

Notes for disputes

Cars in the lot, drifting that came back, a locked gate, a customer who asked for a skip. One line, written at the site.

Billing block

How the storm is billed (per push, per inch, hourly, or seasonal contract with no charge this storm), the date invoices went out, and who checked them against the sheet.

Under the table, leave room for the notes and the billing block: storm date, total inches, who was on the crew, how it is billed, the date invoices went out and who checked them. Take one photo before and one after at every site from the same spot, and write down why if you could not.

Common questions

What should a snow storm log record?

One line per site: when you arrived, when you left, what you did (plow, salt, shovel), how much salt went down, and whether you took before and after photos. Add a notes line for anything a customer could question later, such as cars in the way, a locked gate or drifting after you left. That is enough to answer most billing disputes.

Why keep a log for every storm?

Because the argument is rarely about the price. It is about whether you came. A note made at the site beats a memory made on Friday, and every line on the invoice should match a line on the sheet.

How should I bill a storm?

Agree on the method in writing before the first flake: per push, per inch, hourly or a seasonal contract. Write down what depth or event sends the truck and what counts as a push. Then bill from the log, soon after the storm, with the storm date on the invoice.

Do I need photos at every site?

It helps a lot. Take one before and one after from the same spot, with the time on the photo. Customers argue less with a picture than with a number. If you could not take them, write why in the notes.

Is this sheet really free?

Yes. No email, no signup, no watermark. Print it and change it however you like.
