1. Specific delivery charges for specific types of equipment.
2. Self-defined local regions.
3. We charge a flat 1 hour minimum, then hourly after that. We estimate the rate using GoogleMaps and round up for our transport trucks.
4. Terrain, roads or highway, size of truck needed.
5. If the jobsite is outside of our area, we also charge by the hour.

3. Additional Comments
1. Standard rate per piece for standard size equipment. Oversize or special conditions, we charge hourly or negotiated.
2. Flat per hour rate. A basic rate when using a pickup and a higher rate when using larger trucks.
3. We charge a premium for after hours, lots of people will change their minds about having deliveries!
4. Within 30 minutes portal to portal. Increased from there.
5. We charge by distance and how many tree branches our driver can run into.
6. We have flat rates to start, then distance, time of day, exact time and before and after hours play in the rate.

4. Survey Ideas
1. Repeal the minimum wage.
