| 272525 | 2004-09-15 23:59:00 | Guys, you install $20-00 items, we install $20,000-00 items. But you can NOT charge out $0.50 per Km, and even come close to covering cost unless its on long haul 200Km plus when you factor in a reduced Km rate (this is for small service vehicles not HMV). CBD parking costs are/must be, a straight plussage. Hourly rate for retail end users is difficult for non commercial IT. However even if you work from home, less than $25-00 hour, or part off for the first, is not only cutting your own throat but everbody else's. That behaviour put the heavy transport industry in the mess its in today. A lot of the larger software supplier/installers are $150-00 HR then by quaters after the first. They are charging travel time on top of Km's. $20-00 buys nothing today. D. |

| 272531 | 2004-09-16 00:19:00 | Guys, Thats kind of the point, your trafficking a large volume of stock items, with such a little margin . and charge a light Hourly rate, and light Km rates . Thus you keep your selves and your businesses financially constrained, and cash poor . Its the way the industry has moved, you buy your modems for @$10-00, So what do they land at . Soon as the small folk on the bottom of this equation you will see your living standards further eroded, by more red sheds and smithys . They know what they are doing with their labour practices, and they dont care about the long term effects . |

| 272532 | 2004-09-16 00:24:00 | $40 bucks an hour is better then $8 an hour digging ditches,besides,no mans skills are worth $150 an hour,not unless they are saving lives. Granted it maybe viable situation when your talking billion dollar companies with million dollar setups,...not to many of those in Wanganui though..... |
