ESC Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I’ve been through it all before and typically we do very little club work without a credit card up front anymore. But yesterday, a decent job came in and I went for it. The Honda Accord was 3 miles from our shop and needed to go 276 miles, all except 3 miles of that would be on the PA Turnpike to Pittsburgh. I got approval for $414 in deadhead miles. ($1.50 per mile x 276 miles) and got it all in the notes. This morning I go to submit the bill and get an error message. The message shows that tows over 250 miles are not permitted. If that’s the case, don’t send me on a 276 mile job. Ha Anyway I called in and they have me faxing over the invoice. It was a good job, 12 hour round trip with 2 rest stops and an hour stop for a good dinner. Worked out to average $120 per hour from them.

dperone Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I'd say your nuts to not get a card up front from them. I won't even tow a car from my shop to across the street in a P.O. for them anymore due just this reason. That club has been on my s-list since the cross country days and they've done nothing to change that since. At least you had a nice ride though and it wasn't raining the whole time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a rare occasion I’ll take a PO for a decent job. This is one where I have everything documented by a supervisor and everything is mapped and and accurate. I’ve always been able to collect every penny so when the numbers are right I’ll take my chances. Yesterday was a good run with all clear weather and no traffic. The downside is that I didn’t get home till 1 am.... I’m tired! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooresbp Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I see what you are saying but anymore I am just getting tired of arguing with them and just don't care! Too much hassle.
