“We have 24 people handling sidewalks and we have eight people handling the snow plows,” said Kaplac.

He’s preparing his team to get ready to plow snow from parking lots on Saturday ahead of an expected snowstorm in western Maryland.

Mountain View Diner is one of his 18 commercial clients.

John says what he’s expected to make this weekend is up in the air.

“Last year we made nothing. This year we don’t know. It all depends on the weather. I have associates who spend upwards of $7,000 for commercial liability insurance and have nothing to show for it,” said Kaplac.
