About J M Dulac Contracting

The storms that reach Minot come in off the western hills and pool in the low ground along Bog Brook, where the cold sits longest and the drifts build against the fence lines. J M Dulac Contracting is out in the dark of those mornings, headlights swinging up the long dirt drives that Route 121 keeps hidden. Plowing here is a matter of knowing every dooryard by heart: where the culvert edge falls away, which turnaround narrows, where the wind will fill things back in by noon. The work ends with a driveway open all the way to the pavement before the coffee is finished, and a walkway you can carry groceries across. Winter in this town is long; the point is simply that nobody in it gets stuck.
