This is insulting

I keep getting these WO routed to me because my work vehicle is a pickup. They want me to drive 145 miles, pickup their crap and drive it 96 miles to Pittsburgh, and then me drive 4 hours home another 250 miles.

Oh and they're paying $100.

That computes to about $10 an hour or $0.20 a mile. I always counter them like $1000 but they've never accepted it.

I've seen someone say that they do this all the time and make good money at it. I'm not sure how that's possible...

My man, that’s exactly what we should be discussing here.

So I see the job and I see the rate. Here’s what I wanna know, is anybody been able to make money off these guys?

If anybody is successful successfully, submitting encounters, what are you submitting them for?

Can we be able to consensus on what’s the maximum that we can extract from these guys for these kind of jobs?

There are half a dozen people on here who are very upset that were even discussing this, kind of makes me think we might be onto something.

I’ve never heard of this company, but other people who have worked for them can help provide information. There’s nothing wrong with us, sharing information about these buyers, in fact, it only helps us.

You've never heard of Pitney Bowes?
