Snowy site: will service truck access be a problem in January 2027?

Hector V.asked Nov 1, 20260 viewsDelivery, Placement & Servicing Truck access Winterization Service frequency Placement

I'm running a 20-person commercial site in Minnesota through January 2027. We have two standard units and one ADA-compliant unit on level gravel, but the ground turns to deep snow and ice pack. The vacuum truck needs to get within 25 feet for pumping. Last winter, the driver had to shovel a path twice. I'm worried about January service visits if we get heavy snow. Will the rental company still send the truck? Do I need to plow a wider access road to the cluster every week? What if the truck gets stuck?
