Not that we agree with that idea, as any state regulated rate tends to be set and then forgot about until it becomes unmanageable or priced way out of reason due to inflation.

That is the case with the Oklahoma tow rates.. And that $180 is for Heavy Duty towing and recovery. I understand that they are trying to get it increased, but even if they do, I bet it is still way below profit levels verses expenses and cost adjustments for inflation. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ibflat2) http://priceperpound.info/reply/1272 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:19:32 PST http://priceperpound.info/reply/1271/Recoveries-and-pricing#reply-1271
I am not closing my eyes, but look at gas prices across the country, its the same brand, the same product but different prices for it.
I know that taxes are what are included

and 180 an hour.. Thats good for light duty calls....

Come on people you have charge what your market will allow. That is how you stay in business. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (fuddrucker) http://priceperpound.info/reply/1266 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:59:31 PST http://priceperpound.info/reply/1036/Recoveries-and-pricing#reply-1036
New Mexico is supposed to be regulated and I lost my rate sheet for there...

Louisana is also regulated but I think its like $ 250 or so per hour...

I thought that Massachussetts was regulated also, along with Connecuticut and New York, or was that just on the turnpikes. Its tough to keep up on rates for different areas, and I would love to have a book to reference during my seminars on PPP which has the regulated rates in it. That way we can all discuss the issue and see if things are better, or worse in different locations..


SO if anyone wants to send me the regulated rates (or a link to them) that would be great as I will use it for a great comparison tool. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ibflat2) http://priceperpound.info/reply/1036 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:29:36 PST http://priceperpound.info/reply/1033/Recoveries-and-pricing#reply-1033 Steve ]]> feeds@yuku.com (general tow) http://priceperpound.info/reply/1033 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:17:21 PST http://priceperpound.info/reply/1032/Recoveries-and-pricing#reply-1032
That way you can see what I am talking about with the rates and such being high and the possibilities of $40,000 or more recovery bills.

Sure I am involved in promoting Price Per Pound billing and how to use it correctly...

But I have seen recoveries done on different forums and even have been sent some bills in the past which are truely out there price wise.

We can look at the Texas issues where the rate sheets are posted and have to cover all the things that you can possibly run into.

Look at some of the information from the Beaumont Texas police issue where 14 of the 16 companies are getting suspended for over charging... One companies rate sheets list "tractor trailer wrecks, $5,000 to $150,000 dollars

Now I ask you all, what do you consider a "decent and non rip off" charge for recoveries.


Hourly rates which I have heard of and seen tend to get bills up there in places where companies tend to "roll everything" in order to get the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ibflat2) http://priceperpound.info/topic/1117 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:07:39 PST
