          Just a note to thank you for introducing “Per Pound Pricing” to the towing and recovery industry, Vickie and I just completed a seminar on billing and pricing for the Indiana Towing & Wrecker Association. We strongly advocated the use of the pricing and explained in detail how to change over from billing time and equipment. http://priceperpound.info/topic/1287 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 11:27:49 PST <![CDATA[ Charging by the pound (written by Stormin Norman, and printed Feb 1996) ]]> http://priceperpound.info/topic/1286/Charging---pound-written--Stormin-Norman--printed-Feb-1996- Charging by the pound

          I want to say that during these times when our industry thinks we’ll never get together, I’d like to know that you and I are 100 percent together on billing. I read your February article with much favor. I was a nice job of getting the point across. Please forward me your most recent rate sheet.

            I feel that God had blessed me to be one of the best in our business in heavy duty recovery. I don’t know who write the article in the June issue about charging by the pound for recoveries. But it is the most complicated and bizarre thing I have ever seen in my life. We need to simplify things for our help, not make it harder.                    http://priceperpound.info/topic/1274 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 11:45:34 PST <![CDATA[ Charging by the hour (written by Scott Burrows, printed in Phootnotes August 2001) ]]> http://priceperpound.info/topic/1273/Charging---hour-written--Scott-Burrows-printed--Phootnotes-A CHARGING BY THE HOUR
