Truck charges/Service calls.
Hello everyone.
With the rising cost of fuel, you have to be able to justify travelling long distances to some jobs.
We were not charging service calls on local jobs because being a small town some local people didnt appreciate a service call for a job that might have taken 5 minutes to diagnose a burnt out compressor for example.
For out of town jobs we charge a travel rate per km.
But I think a straight service call for every job local or not would more applicable at least your fuel costs would be covered. My thoughts would be that the service call would cover all travel plus the first 15 minutes on the job.
Just wondering whether other mechanics use a similar thing or something that may be a better idea as I am soon planning to change it.
Thanks in advance.
