Message: [QUOTE="Jason, post: 269952, member: 430"] My price was minimum. BUT, the way I look at it is, you're going to reach a point where the guy will say screw it, it's cheaper for me to come get it. You don't want to bid it so low you're cutting your throat. You're using and wearing on your equipment, taking time out of your schedule etc. That's a easy leave Tuesday morning, be back Wednesday afternoon (with sleeping) trip. My rate was $2.95 a mile, loaded, or $1.47 for all miles traveled. No need to charge fuel in addition to. One of the contracts I used to service monthly, was 420 miles on way, and I charged $1200 to do it. I did it with my pickup and 24' enclosed trailer. It cost me $200.00 in diesel to do it, and a day of my time, profited $1k. I didn't have commercial insurance, or anything like that, so that wasn't a factored cost. If I had cargo insurance, etc, that would have been a $2400 trip. Not worth it to me to pay the extra $1k a month for cargo/commercial insurance, when that extra being charged would have gone towards that ins. Payment. The people paid what they did, bc they could call their order in to the manufacturer at 8am, and I would have it unloaded at their business at 2am when they opened the following day. They had a delivery company delivering it for them prior to me doing it, charging $900 for the same job, but I could get it to them 2 days sooner, and I had it ready to be set up before they opened, unlike the other company who showed up mid morning. So, to some people, the convenience IS worth the extra cost. [/QUOTE]
