Are you peoples taking in to concideration the cost of gas, insurance, all the costs of keeping the van running, like tires and service, deprecation of the vehicle (big one), registration fees, paying the tech his hourly rate while driving, etc. ?
Isn't the travel fee supposed to cover all that stuff too?
What I'm getting at is, at least with my company, there is no company profits from travel fees charged, it more or less just covers the cost of buying and operating the truck.
