mileage fees.

[Hechler Family]

David, et all,

That is hard to do especially when you expand you work expertise (player 
piano and reed organ services). I charge for round trip mileage from my 
house ( 44.5 cents per mile) for anyone outside of my metro area (St. 
Louis, MO). For example, I was contacted for a reed organ rebuild which 
was over 2 hours away. When I talked to the person, they had no problem 
paying for mileage on top of my regular rebuild rate. I also charge for 
trailer rental on top of that.

I figure as long as you are up front with people, they won't mind paying 
for mileage - especially with the gas prices these days - we are at 
$3.09 for regular.

Regards,
Duaine
