I do a lot of bush hogging too. I found that most of my customers don't want to pay a "penalty" because I live too far from their mowing site. With fuel, trucks, tires insurance, ect, being so expensive, I needed a way to recoup some of that cost. Here's what I did this year. My "base rate" was $60 an hour. This summer, it's $75 an hour for the first 2 hours, then $60 for any time AFTER that. Any jobs OVER 25 miles from home are billed $1 per mile (one way) beyond that 25 miles. Since MOST of my work is with-in that 25 mile range, the increased cost of the first 2 hours covers most of my cost of moving (over what's already included in my "base rate") I'm also telling all my customers that should fuel continue to rise in cost, expect a rate increase from me. If I don't have the opportunity to make a buck, I'm staying home and watching Andy Griffith re-runs.......
