Usually the answer is "We're not taking on any new customers because in rainy weeks we can't get to every one we have now." Most businesses want to stick to one or two Village neighborhoods, so they can do 3 or 4 homes on the same street and unload ONCE. Driving 3 miles to the next customer is not profitable.
Very difficult situation.
