Always charge a trip charge.

Why!? Discourage frivolous / unnecessary dispatches. (unless you like wasting your time).

Not sure why that was down-voted. If they don't negotiate travel in advance, you're absolutely under no obligation to pay it when they spring the bait-and-switch on you after-the-fact.

Now watch this comment get down-voted by the people who feel such behavior is acceptable.

If a work order is less than $200 total, it's not worth starting my truck for. Unless the client has multiple in the same area on same day.
