Replied to Truck above, but left this little tidbit out. I expect to get paid for my time just like anyone else does, wether I'm working at the shop for a customer or driving to a customers job to work for them.
Think about it this way. There have been times I had to drive nearly 4 hours to do a job for a customer that only took me an hour to do. Based on your idea that would mean that I'd dedicate 9 hours to that customer but would only get paid for one of them. On top of that with fuel being at $3.75 a gallon I'm not making that much profit off of the mileage anyway, just enough to cover expenses. Heck just a set of rear brakes and drums on my truck run me over $400, and when it comes time for a set of tires there's another $2000 plus, insurance at nearly $1200, plus any unforseen problems like the $3000 plus transmission that went out some years back. Basically if I didn't charge for all of my time, and mileage to cover my truck expenses, I'd be better off to tell the customer that it wasn't worth my time to work for them as running a business like that would do nothing but run it into the ground in a hurry.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
