Ok guys no doubt times are tight and everyone is looking at their model and trying to hunker down until the next boom. I am curious where labor rates are for various types of service companies. We are highly specialized equipment and send techs on the road for a week at a time covering multiple states. However it looks as if our rates are low even for standard lift truck service. Let me hear billing rates, how you set them, travel charges, per diem etc.
