What the search found

Who pays
Landscaping business owners who do snow removal
The problem
When a snow plow driver calls in sick during a storm, the owner has to call around to find coverage. Routes get missed. Clients call angry. The owner is stuck in the middle at 4am.
The gap
Route4Me and similar tools optimize routes for municipal and commercial fleets. They do not offer a simple crew-facing board where drivers can swap or pick up routes when someone is out. The gap is the peer-to-peer swap, not the route optimization.

    Snow removal route optimization for municipal and commercial fleets. Assigns priority zones and coordinates crews, but no crew swap board.

People asking for it
The big assumption
Crew leads will use a swap board during a storm when they are already busy and stressed, instead of just calling the owner.
Test it this week
Create a shared Google Sheet with routes and a WhatsApp group for swaps. Ask 3 landscaping owners to try it for one storm. See if any swaps happen without the owner coordinating.
