Build travel and waste disposal into prices
The problem
Driving between jobs and tip runs are unpaid hours unless you price them in. A month of logs shows what to add.
What AI does
AI works out your average travel time and waste costs from your own logs and sets out two ways to include them in your prices. Which way you choose, and your prices, are your decision.
Time
The steps, in short
- Log your travel and waste trips, with their costs, for a few weeks.
- Have AI work out the averages from your logs.
- Compare the options it sets out and decide how to price them.
- Update your prices and check your waste carrier registration with the regulator for your nation.
