T55 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I appreciate all the input.....well except for 67 nov. ha ha It's all definately food for thought and might use some to plead my case. Then, again, maybe I'll branch off into used carpet sales and make a bundle. Cheers to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misunderstood Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Skids Up.... yes at times there was alot of driving. One rental was returned with over 15000km on it when the tour was completed, add in the wear and tear damages they always charge, it adds up fast. When you look at the driving I did, there were days where I put on over 1000km in one day alone, love that multi base work. Did a run to Blue river once and returned the car back to Tilden in Edmonton the same day. The young lady at the counter was stunned when I gave her the mileage of 1400km (or so) and you could see her mentally totalling that up and knowing full well it's only 10 hours since i picked up the car. Not many guys would come anywhere near this in regular work, but I'm the exception to the rule and always misunderstood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w squared Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 When I bill a client for the use of the truck that my company provides to me, they pay about $90 a day, plus about $1.25 per km. That's rather more than what many other companies charge, but at least it gives you an idea of the high end of the scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
