Gig economy meets snow: Durham company plows driveways
AT 10:00, LAW
FROM US.
HOPEFULLY IT DOES NOT COME TO
THIS.
GETTING TO EMERGENCIES COULD
TAKE LONGER.
>> AS IT GETS BUSIER, IT KIND
OF CAN BE A WEIGHT ON THE
SYSTEM.
THE PUBLIC CAN HELP.
STAY AT HOME.
>> THE MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE
AFTERNOON THE ROADS --
>> THE MORE THAT WE HAVE TO
WORK THROUGH AND GET AROUND AND
GET BY IN ORDER TO GET PLACES.
>> WAY STARTED GETTING CALLS
LATE AT NIGHT.
THEY ARE SPREADING SALT AND
PARKING LOTS AND ANYWHERE ELSE
CUSTOMERS NEEDED.
AFTER THE SNOW FALLS, THEY WILL
GET PAID AGAIN TO PLOW IT AWAY.
THE DEEPER IT IS, THE MORE
MONEY THEY CAN MAKE.
>> WRAL IS.
>> REAL LAWN CARE AND OTHER
COMPANIES CAN BE REACHED ON AN
APP CALLED PLOWS AND MOE'S TO
SERVE PEOPLE AT THEIR OWN
HOMES.
>> YOU OPEN IT AND THIS IS FOR
A HOMEOWNER.
THEY'LL COME IN HERE AND
THEY'LL TAP SNOW REMOVAL.
IT WORKS COINED OF LIKE ULER.
IF YOU NEED YOUR DRIVEWAY
CLEARED, YOU CAN REQUEST
SOMEONE LIKE SANCHEZ.
>> WE CAN BE OUT THERE WITHIN
AN HOUR, TO AN HOUR AND A HALF,
TWO HOURS.
>> AT THE MOMENT, SNOW IS
COMING DOWN IN DOWNTOWN
RALEIGH.
IN THE PARKING LOT AND ON THE
PAVEMENT HERE, IT IS RATHER
CLEAR.
IT IS NOT STICKING TO THE
PAVEMENT AT THE MOMENT.
FOR THE SAKE OF THOSE BEHIND
THE PLOW AND THOSE EMERGENCY
WORKERS AGAIN, THE BEST PLACE
TO STAY IF YOU CAN, IS AT HOME.
BACK TO YOU.
>> GREAT ADVICE.
