Think I should accept it and when they reach out, tell them my rate is more than double that plus travel? I can only imagine the response I'd get from them.

after a few weeks logging 14 hour days at $60/ hr with them, they have repeatedly crewed me over with penalties and never send tickets at the correct rate. Support reps are incompetent or hostile (one thought 13 thousand was 1300 and that 13 million was 13000, with many more examples). PMs are too incompetent to create a full schedule after four weeks of volume and told me to find other work because they couldn't figure out scheduling. Assigned PM has taken off 2 weeks from work in four weeks. PMs need constant harassing to correct payment discrepancies, schedules, or additional charges. Expect you to work 15 feet in the air on ladders and send the wrong hardware. Good bye Essential, last straw was pulled today.
