There you go. My billing is minimum 8 hrs, time on the ground less travel time. If the job takes less, I suggest they find something else they might want me to do. No? Fine, I'll leave. To load the trailer and travel takes me long enough that it doesn't make sense to bill less than 8 hrs. Seems my competition is primarily rental equipment, which isn't much competition after the first go round. I don't get complaints. Trying to bill for mileage is a rat's nest, attracting complaints. Better to be up front about needing to get enough for the day, or not go. The equipment dealers have found my billing highly amusing. What they're thinking is that a couple more bucks/hr would buy much larger machines. That's got nothing to do with anything. The deal is between the customer and me. I get happy repeat customers and I'm well-paid. That's what it's all about.
