When you are an owner operator you know what it is to make 100%... IT IS NICE But when you don't have a lot of work and it gets real real slow your willing to do anything even at 30%... sad but true... I've been there many times.
 
people subbing out the work know that you aren't making any money, but the job has to get done
 
I've done sub work where the min call is 69 bucks and I was only getting 35%...45% or 50%....trust me it aint nothing...by the time I get the truck ready and drive there and do the cleaning most times i'm in the hole...LOL  The problem is I won't ever drop my quality of cleaning...
 
everypenny counts at the end of the month

How is that guy going to make any money.....does anyone else here work that cheap.

So I guess this guy obviously took your comments " you're a fool if you dont lower your prices in times of economic downturn" a little too far.Wink]]> Fri, 17 Jul 2009 01:44:03 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6006&PID=155606&title=stop-working-for-30#155606
