I bid my jobs by a flat amount I look at it on the map and more than
likely I have been there before and I come up with a figure which
usually works out to about $3 a mile but I most of this price is
aggregation I figure in like the 7 hours it took Overnite to unload me
Thursday or the 4 hours it took the postal service to load me yesterday.
