Snow-removal pro time tracking, without the timer.
How a snow-removal pro's day actually looks
Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A snow-removal pro's day is the opposite. You're clearing driveways and managing salt application, switching between addresses like Residential driveways, Commercial parking lots, Retail storefronts, and doing tasks like Plowing snow, Salting/de-icing, Shoveling entryways. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.
Friction snow-removal pros tell us about
- Losing track of time between back-to-back emergency plow calls
- Difficulty capturing mileage between scattered residential routes during a storm
- Trouble justifying travel time between properties when working overnight shifts
- Manual logging is impossible when hands are busy with a plow or shovel
How TradesTimer handles it
- Automatically detects every driveway stop without needing to touch your phone in the cold
- Captures exact mileage for every trip between properties for easy tax filing
- Converts scattered overnight routes into a clear list of rounded billable hours
