How do you determine your movr charge? Do you charge from when you leave your yard?Have it picked up by local transporter with a set rate? And Is it stated to the cutomer that it will cost them X amount plus what ever the job is .

Now the move price is quoted for round trip.

I charge $100 move in, round trip.

Justifacation is, it takes 3 hours (worst case) to hook up the trailor to the truck, load the machine, drive to the site, unload the machine, and reverse. $33/hr for truck. trailor, driver,insurance, tires, tax......is cheap.
The meter starts when arrived and stops when left.

Also that is what most are charging around here (important).
