This just doesn't sound right...Suppose they scheduled a job at the north end of TV then one at the south end, and then one at the north end again...they woud be making $85 an hour for traveling all day???? That's one way to make a full day's wages without having the business....
Now I have heard of travel time charges, but that is usually a fixed amount, or based on travel time from their place of business to your job site... I just wonder if there was a misunderstanding about how the trip charge is figured?
