Year-round sweeps beat seasonal rushes, in my view

Most sweeps I talk to only work in the fall. I began offering yearly plans, and my workload is now steady. How do you handle the slow months?

Always figured like nathan919 that you had to chase the fall rush. But having steady work all year really changed my mind. The reliable money is worth way more than a few big paydays.

My cousin in Montana clears 70% of his annual income during the autumn rush alone. Chasing year-round contracts just lowers your per-job rate when demand peaks.

Actually, nobody ever talks about the off season risk. Your cousin's plan works until one bad drought or early freeze wipes out most of that rush income. Then you're stuck with no fall money and no year-round clients to fill the gap. That single season model has wrecked a lot of guys who thought they were set.
