Snow removal log sheet
This snow removal log sheet gives each truck one page for a storm. The driver writes down each site, when they arrived and left, what they did, and the conditions they found. It is free, and you do not need to sign up.

How to keep a snow plowing log during a storm
The sheet is only useful if it is filled in at each stop.
- Keep it on a clipboard in the cab, with a pen tied on.
- Write the times at the site, before you drive off.
- Tick Plough, Salt or both. Write the amount in Conditions if your contract bills by it.
- If you could not finish, write why, such as a parked car in a lane.
Hand the sheets in after each storm, and keep them with that month's invoices.
Where a cab sheet lets you down
Nobody can check when a line was written, and a sheet filled in at the end of a long night comes from memory. Paper also gets wet. If a sheet goes missing, so does the record of every site on it.
Scan at the lot and skip the clipboard
With ScanNLog, you fix a QR code at each site. The driver scans it with a phone, picks Plough or Salt, and taps Completed or Not completed. A photo from the camera can be required. It records their name, their verified email and the time, in that site's time zone. The scan needs a data connection, so test the signal at each lot. Then you can make a PDF for one site and one night when a client asks.
Questions
What should a snow log record about the weather?
What the crew saw when they arrived, in plain words: snow depth, ice, and whether it was still falling. Ask your insurer if it wants more.
How long should I keep the sheets?
It depends on your contracts, your insurer and where you work. Claims can arrive long after the season, so ask them before you throw anything away.
