Re New Job Posting - $10/hr. for tape pickup + printing/delivery - mtanon


Posted: Jul 20, 2011

Just curious if anyone thinks that's a good deal.  And ad states "mini" cassette tapes too.  I did that 14 years ago and couldn't fathom going through it again.  Let alone for $10 per hour -- $20/hr big maybe, but not $10.  The driving, the typing, and the time to print +cost of printer ink/toner etc.  Doesn't add up to a great profit.  

I know money is money, but am I thinking maybe $15 per hour might sound a little better?  Just wondering if the MT can offer $10, she may not be getting more than that herself.  

I would call this gas money at best.  Hope she finds someone.

eek, if you really need the job that bad. Take into consideration the pick up time (hours) and the distance (gas $). Tapes stink. Did some recently and did not like goin back to the old days. If it is a super easy account, then may be worthwhile. Good luck :D

With all that is involved, would not take less than $20/hour - mtmom

How Much Extra Charge For Pickup/delivery?
Mar 01, 2011

I have a shot at picking up a (small) local account. The doctor hasn't called me yet to talk about it, and I have no idea whether he's equipped for digital transmission or not (believe me, I will do my best to talk him into it if he's not). But... just in case he insists upon pickup and delivery service, how much extra should I tell him that's going to cost? Flat rate? Mileage? How much?  (The local phone directory is not clear on where his office actually is located at ...
