If you are looking for work as a freelance MT, print this article and comments out, and include it with your brochure/cover letter to use a selling point, and to provide cover for charging a price for your area. This will help demonstrate you are a serious professional and will spend the time necessary to ensure a report as nearly perfect as you can make it, and that you have the experience to red flag what might or might not be a misstatement/error in the report?
I saw a post a few days ago where someone was going to bid on an account in the LA area, and 8 cents/character line was recommended. This is tragic. This rate is less than half what it should be for the LA area, to justify the time and expenses incurred.
