I had a reply my company likes me charging for the trip for extra tools. Nope most of my lifts are under guaranteed maintenance. Customer only pays set amount a month. My tools are all mine down to the air hose. The laptop I carry is mine with all programing on it. To travel home costs my employer. I am closer to the customers than they are. My last two customers are a direct result of employees getting laid off at one job and obtaining a new one and recommending me. My Employee Cost Analysis is consistently high. My nonchargeable is consistently low. I have spent hours on end my time and cost collecting information that has benefited my company so when the 1/2 hour rule passed they backed down. My tools are back in the van. My company gets my lunch everyday as I normally do not take it. To raise profit improve you low productive people and praise the ones who make you money. Always worked for me.
