      I recently had a customer request a large amount of construction debris to be removed. I gave a quote I thought was fare due to the amount of trips to the landfill and it is at least an hour each direction 

  • My recommendation would be to come up with your hourly rate cost plus mileage cost (which is typically found online). Then you can upcharge that particular estimate to include those two components so that you are not taking a loss. 

    Reverse engineer it. Take a sample for a job you did that wasn’t charged enough and calculate what you would’ve needed to charge. Put that on a chart for that particular area.

    i hope this helps!
