Levi, I'm in Duanseburg area of NY. All the above pricing includes fuel costs. Diesel here is currently hugging $2.39/gal. You still healing? I'm taking it easy today. Just spent two days ripping off a roof and all the rafters to boot. Hands a little swollen but I got about 80% of my strength back already.
Your probably right. $40 is what I charge people I know and work with regularly. That's just for the dump. So If I work 8hrs and the truck is used for 6hrs I get $200-300 (depending on if I climb or stay on the ground) and $240 for the truck. To me that's a decent days pay, cash even. You think I should charge more for the truck? Stranger rate is $65/hr.
The elevator. I hear ya on the 55'rs. They're everywhere and usually parked right next to the 60'ers. Thanks for looking bro. I found an 08 international with an 11' chip box. Not looking for a chip box version and it's a little more than I want to spend at 69k. Then again, winters coming and I want to work it this season.
Thats a good days pay but it seems to fall a little short with all the equipment you bring to the job. Lot of wear-n-tear. Hours add up quick.
You know... I was kind of wondering if that seemed a little low. A friend of mine told me that it was as well. It just seems like where I am it's really hard to price things as they should be. We have so much competition within our small area it's seriously ridiculous. If you have any advice I welcome it friend. And I guess I should add, I'm friends with most of the guys I sub with at the moment. They all have their own small company's as well. So I try to be very considerate of their needs as well. I don't have as much overhead and as many life responsibilities as some of my buds. (Kids, big mortgage, new car payments) So, I try to be fair. Meaning, they need more income, so I try and make sure they get it.
