Emergency resupply, mid-season

Many Pennsylvania municipalities buy road salt through the statewide COSTARS cooperative contract (a 2026–27 average of $92.47 a ton). In a long or icy winter, deliveries on those contracts can fall behind just when the shed runs low.

We help close the gap: bulk rock salt and treated salt for pickup by your trucks or delivery to your facility, and brine for anti-icing, quoted fast so your crews keep roads, bridges and school routes safe.

  • Bulk rock salt and treated salt by the ton
  • Pickup by your trucks, including storm loading
  • Delivery to your salt shed or yard
  • Liquid deicer and brine by the gallon or tanker
  • Seasonal and backup supply agreements

Public safety first

Roads, bridges, school zones, hospital entrances and sidewalks downtown are where ice control protects the most people. A backup supply plan, worked out before the season, means a short shed never turns into an untreated route.

Before the season

Set up a backup supply agreement and know your lead times.

When supplies tighten

Request a resupply quote early, with tons, location and pickup or delivery.

After the storm

Rebuild your reserve before the next event.

Questions

Can you resupply a city mid-season?

Request a quote with your tons, location and timing. Emergency resupply depends on what's available when you call, so ask early when supplies look tight.

Do you work with purchasing rules?

Tell us what your purchasing process needs, like quotes, W-9s or bid forms, and we'll respond in that format where we can.

Do you sell to schools and counties too?

Yes. Counties, school districts, park districts, hospitals and other public facilities can request quotes the same way.

Talk to real snow people

Request a public works quote

Talk to people who've run plows at 3 a.m. We know what it's like when the shed is empty, the radar is lit up and your clients expect dry walks by 7. Tell us what you need, and you'll get a straight answer and a written quote, not a sales pitch.

  • Fast delivery. Bulk dropped at your site, sized to your season, so you don't need a salt barn.
  • Storm-night loading. Extended loading hours when a big event hits.
  • Storm-priority list. Get in line for resupply before the storm, not during it.
  • See it first. Ask for a yard visit and see the treated salt in person.
  • Fall pre-buy and seasonal contracts. Lock in tons before the first flake.
