As stated it depends on the job. You can not just willy nilly raise prices assuming all your competition is. Living in a large metropolitan area has steep competition.You have no idea what you are talking about twit.Didn't you already fold those fuel prices into your pricing/fees? During the last huge bump in oil prices, when it was $3.98/p gallon, the lawn service hiked my lawn mowing fees from $50 to $65, citing the outrageous spike in gas prices. Everyone who had to drive to get here was tacking on a 'fuel charge.' Then it went back down to $2/p gallon and the lawn service never reduced its rates. A lot of companies never stopped the fuel charge. So if it goes back up to $4, they're all set. You're not?When you use as much fuel as I do you know when prices are absurdly high. I have to fill up 3 to 4 times a week. Last week we had a TWENTY CENT JUMP in one fucking day.
You may not notice if you dont fuel a lot but I do
That is what MOST business owners do. They include the price of fuel in their quotes for a job.
Bullshit. My boyfriend is a contractor and he knows all about the construction industry. They charge their clients for estimated fuel costs. Those costs are INCLUDED in the quote for the job.
You do not know what you're talking about
Well, then, pay the price! I don't know what it is you want people to tell you!
