Winter shutdown Dec–Feb across most of the state. Salt hauling and snow contracts fill the gap for prepared operators.
Turner, Whiting-Turner, and Messer Construction dominate commercial work. Shelly Materials and Kokosing are the aggregate and DOT giants to court.
The full course includes a 500+ GC and aggregate supplier directory (with Ohio contacts), the exact LLC/USDOT/insurance sequence, and the pricing math for every material listed above.
