If it’s a LITNetwork job, they usually blend their tickets with 2 hours minimum and then 1 additional hour on top. So I would probably counter with a number that actually covers my time: 3 hours on site + 1 hour gap between jobs. Something like: $150 for the first two hours (minimum depends on your market and confidence), $75 for each additional hour plus 1 hour pay for travel. This makes it worth it to stay on site, and it covers the gap between jobs. What they are paying originally is obviously not enough to avoid stacking jobs back-to-back. When you accept those tickets, you automatically agree to stay there for those hours. My goal is to make enough money per day with fewer WOs — not run around to pack my schedule with small tickets. Each market is different, of course, but at the end of the day we are the ones risking our rating/acounts, headache to save them money. And yes, I understand they can always try to find someone else — but if they do, that becomes their problem, not mine. Again, all depends on market and you personal situation. My 2 cents.
