nice work

Well I just got my check today for the full amount of the repair $1,061 plus a couple of hundred extra for me shuttling the trailer to the repair shop. I had pressed for more on the P&D fee but I made the mistake of not getting that in an actual estimate/invoice. In other words the next time this happens the shop doing the repairs will be doing a P&D from my hometown to Nashville. That's a 6 hour job coming to get it and then bringing it back and their rate is $71 an hour for that.

So that's what I charged, a normal market rate doing the P&D myself, but these people wanted to argue because it wasn't part of the actual repair invoice. I didn't want to fight it any more so decided to take their offer and run. I could have hit them up for trailer rental and all that but I guess I'm just too easy. I was on vacation while it was down in the shop a week anyways. So this was an eye opener and learning experience. The company I'm leased to did all of the legwork and a really good job of it too. The people who damaged it wouldn;t even talk to me when I initially inquired about it. They thought I was just a one truck guy that would go away.

 

New panel.
