GETELECTRIC,
It is difficult for a small business to schedule service stops, It comes down to scheduled time, which may result in a work day ending at 3:00 instead of 4:30, this hour and a half is not billed, or the Call ended at 11:00 and the next job is at 1:00 so the $75 an hour covers the time not billed, and is not money in my pocket, or that excess you showed with your figures.
Now the way you figured, can work, and does work, when you are able to assign a man to 40 billed hours. Contractors that have men, doing maint, and installations in office buildings are very sucessful with this, however they charge a lower rate for the study work.
And no, I will not send my men home early without pay.
