This document is applicable to stationary and mobile vehicle lifts, which are not intended to lift persons but which are designed to raise vehicles totally, for the purpose of examining and working on or under the vehicles whilst in a raised position. The vehicle lift may consist of one or more lifting units.
Power supply to the vehicle lift by internal combustion engines is not considered.
The floor or ground supporting the vehicle lift in use is assumed to be horizontal.
This document does not exclude a person from entering a lifted vehicle on wheel supporting lifts, e.g. for special works or for periodical technical inspection, and vehicle lifts for rail-bound vehicles.
This document does not contain requirements for hazards which may arise on vehicle lifts where the carrying device can be tilted.
NOTE Noise does not play a role in vehicle lifts in the majority of cases and is therefore not considered in this document.
This document does not apply to:
- vehicle lifts movable when loaded;
- equipment for power driven parking of motor vehicles (see EN 14010:2003+A1:2009).
This document is applicable to vehicle lifts which are manufactured six months after the date of its publication as a European Standard.
Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen
Dieses Dokument gilt für stationäre, fahrbare und ortsveränderliche Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen, die bestimmungsgemäß nicht für das Heben von Personen, sondern zum vollständigen Anheben von Fahrzeugen vorgesehen sind, um die angehobenen Fahrzeuge zu untersuchen und an oder unter ihnen zu arbeiten. Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen können aus einer oder mehreren Hubeinheiten bestehen.
Ein Antrieb der Fahrzeug-Hebebühne durch Verbrennungsmotoren wird nicht betrachtet.
Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass der Boden, auf dem die Fahrzeug-Hebebühne benutzt wird, horizontal ist.
Dieses Dokument schließt nicht aus, dass eine Person bei Hebebühnen, die das Fahrzeug an den Rädern aufnehmen, in ein angehobenes Fahrzeug einsteigen darf, z. B. für besondere Arbeiten oder für die periodische technische Inspektion, sowie bei Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen für schienengebundene Fahrzeuge.
Dieses Dokument enthält keine Anforderungen für Gefahren, die bei Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen auftreten können, bei denen das Tragmittel gekippt werden kann.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für kraftbetriebene Parkeinrichtungen für Kraftfahrzeuge (siehe EN 14010). Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen, die ½ Jahr nach der Veröffentlichung als EN hergestellt wurden.
Élévateurs de véhicules
Le présent document est applicable aux élévateurs de véhicules fixes et mobiles, qui ne sont pas prévus pour le levage de personnes, mais qui sont conçus pour élever des véhicules en totalité, afin de permettre les travaux de vérification, d'entretien et de réparation sur ou sous le véhicule lorsqu'il est en position levée. L'élévateur de véhicule peut consister en une ou plusieurs unités de levage.
L'alimentation en énergie de l'élévateur de véhicule par des moteurs à combustion interne n'a pas été envisagée.
Le plancher ou le sol supportant l'élévateur de véhicule lors du fonctionnement est supposé être horizontal.
Ce document n'exclut pas une personne entrant dans un véhicule levé sur des élévateurs à prise sous roues, p. ex. pour des travaux particuliers ou une inspection technique périodique et des élévateurs de véhicule pour des véhicules guidés sur rails.
Ce document ne contient pas d'exigences relatives aux dangers pouvant survenir sur des élévateurs de véhicule dans lesquels le dispositif support peut être incliné.

This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
are covered, are both indicated in the scope of this document. In addition, machinery should comply as
appropriate with EN ISO 12100:2010 for hazards which are not covered by this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C
The object of this document is to define rules for safeguarding persons against the risk of accidents
associated with the operation of vehicle lifts.
While devising this document it was assumed that only authorized persons operate or use the vehicle
lifts and that the working area is sufficiently lit.
The requirement concerning loading control is not deemed pertinent to this document in so far as:
— experience and the state of the art suggests that failing to observe this requirement has not
historically given rise to unsafe situations;
— such devices which would give protection against overall and local overloading are not currently
available in forms which cover all eventualities;
— the weight and weight distribution is freely available for the type of vehicles to be lifted and as such
it is the responsibility of the user to prevent an unsafe situation arising;
— vehicle lifts are generally designed to suit the maximum weight of vehicle to which it would
reasonably be subjected, hence the normal duty of a lift is substantially lower than the maximum.
This document is applicable to stationary and mobile vehicle lifts, which are not intended to lift persons
but which are designed to raise vehicles totally, for the purpose of examining and working on or under
the vehicles whilst in a raised position. The vehicle lift may consist of one or more lifting units.
This document does not exclude a person from entering a lifted vehicle on wheel supporting lifts, e.g.
for special works or for periodical technical inspection, and vehicle lifts for rail-bound vehicles.
This document does not contain requirements for hazards which may arise on vehicle lifts where the
carrying device can be tilted.
NOTE Noise does not play a role in vehicle lifts in the majority of cases and is therefore not considered in this
document.
— vehicle lifts movable when loaded;
— equipment for power driven parking of motor vehicles (see EN 14010:2003+A1:2009).
This document is applicable to vehicle lifts which are manufactured six months after the date of its
publication as a European Standard.

Some time ago I was surfing back through older posts to try and find an entry on a particular topic, and I discovered that the pre- Forever theme posts which used certain formatting elements were not displaying to my liking. In particular, the 'small' font-size was virtually unreadable.
Being of a fussy artistic disposition this bothered me and I resolved to edit them once time allowed. It's a job that's been on the back burner for a while, but /and during the last few days I've made a start. The problem is, that when I edit a post sometimes WordPress re-posts it to all my 'followers' – but only sometimes. I have no idea why this happens when I am only reformatting html and – in some cases – changing categories. The content of the post remains unchanged.
The forum angels advise me that I can switch the blog to "private" for the duration of my editing, and then switch it back to "public" when I'm done, thus avoiding re-posting of edited posts. I'm reluctant to do this, however, because the stats tell me that visitors are continuously viewing the blog – their numbers may not be huge, but I don't want any of them to be turned away. I wish there was an option to show a message saying "Blog under maintenance – please come back later" – are you listening, WordPress Happiness Engineers?
While I'm at-it, dear friends, I want to thank you for your companionship and support over the past three years. It may 'only' be a virtual connection we share, but this heart knows true friendship when it inexplicably and graciously comes its way.
Such a kind comment dear Satprem Thank you!
Your blog is rich in content and honest in tone – I've added a link to it on my *blogamigos* page. I was very interested to read the discussion re Blog Awards, and see your little graphic … my sentiments exactly.
Thank you for all your *Like Love* too. You are well aware, I'm sure, of how heart-warming that little mouse-click can be for a writer.
I enjoy everything you write and know I have not read everything! much luck and gratitude for your wonderful offerings.
Thanks for your kind comment and *Like Love* Linda.
Your posts may not have been re-published – it seems a haphazard affair. The way I can tell whether or not mine have been is by subscribing to my own blog/s in Google Reader.
I love the photo of your art studio on your blog! ENVY. You may be aware that I wear an artist's cap in another version of 'me-myself-I'. The wonderingmindstudio.com blog is its cyberhome.
Perhaps these former posts were meant to resurface. 🙂 Have a great day!
Shantelle – as I was finishing writing the post, and writing "Grace and gratefulness!" I was suddenly aware that there are no mistakes … Grace choreographs the Dance in inexplicable ways. Your comment is very wise and totally spot-on! Thank you.
Ah yes, no mistakes..I love that!

Employee brings caring message to 'Kelly and Ryan'
Kelly Mathaw, a Detroit letter carrier, appeared on "Live with Kelly and Ryan" this month to discuss the challenges of delivering mail during the coronavirus pandemic.
The way Kelly Mathaw sees it, we're all in this together.
The Detroit letter carrier recently appeared on "Live with Kelly and Ryan," the TV talk show hosted by Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, to discuss her job delivering mail and packages during the coronavirus pandemic.
During an interview conducted via Skype, Mathaw talked about the response she has received from thankful customers, including two who gave her a standing ovation, and a child who made her a card and told her to be careful.
But Mathaw expressed concern for the people she serves, too.
"I just want everybody to be safe out there," she said during the four-minute segment, which is available on the "Live with Kelly and Ryan" website and the show's YouTube channel.
Across the nation, USPS employees like Mathaw are receiving praise for providing an essential service during the pandemic.
After the "Live with Kelly and Ryan" interview aired April 13, Mathaw said she was nervous to appear on TV, but she felt she had a duty to the Postal Service and her colleagues, including two daughters who also work for the organization.
"I felt a responsibility to let everyone know what we're dealing with every day," said Mathaw, a 26-year USPS veteran. "I wanted to make sure I represented our letter carriers and the Postal Service well."
Detroit Postmaster Derron Bray said Mathaw succeeded.
"Kelly is a phenomenal employee," he said. "She was the perfect selection to represent Detroit District and the Postal Service. Her attitude and approach to her work is always with safety in mind."
Now that her TV debut is over, Mathaw is back at work, where she's doing her part to lift the spirits of her colleagues.
"I want the message to be heard that we can get through this together and be even better," she said.

Liam Gallagher backs sons to be next Oasis
Image: Bang Showbiz
Liam Gallagher has backed his sons to start a band and become the next Oasis.
The 44-year-old singer's 17-year-old son Lennon – Liam's child with first wife Patsy Kensit – can play guitar and has a great singing voice.
Lennon's 15-year-old half-brother Gene – whose mum is Liam's ex-wife Nicole Appleton – is a talented multi-instrumentalist and can play guitar and drums and Liam is backing them to following in his and his brother Noel's musical footsteps.
However, the 'Roll With It' hitmaker insists no matter what his kids may go on to achieve they'll never be able to match their dad's globe conquering group.
Speaking about Gene's talents at a screening for new Oasis documentary 'Supersonic', he told BANG Showbiz: "Geno's better than me man, I actually think he's a better drummer than guitarist, but as long as he's doing something creative that's OK I'm happy with that."
He added with a grin: "He and Lennon could do (start a band) if they wanted to, but they'll never be as good as Oasis!"
Proud dad Liam recently posted a photo of Gene playing guitar and pulling his best rock star pose on his Twitter account along with the words "get in there my son".
Previously discussing his sons' talents, Liam said: "I'd recommend life in a band to anyone. It's the best gig in the world, man. Gene is up in his room drumming every day. Oh, mate, he loves it. Lennon does guitar lessons and fancies himself as a bit of a singer … Lennon's a massive Who fan. It's got nothing to do with me, he's just obsessed with 'Quadrophenia'."
Their cousins Sonny and Donavan – Noel's lads with spouse Sara Macdonald – are also being encouraged to get not music by the songwriter.
However, all the Gallagher kids rarely see each other due to Liam and Noel's ongoing feud which was sparked in 2009 when the guitarist quit Oasis.
And Noel, like Liam, wouldn't discourage his lads from starting a rock group together but he's not going to help them.
When once asked if he would advise against his sons Donovan and Sonny choosing his career path, Noel said: "No because we were f***ing great, you know what I mean. I don't know if you heard but we sold like 70 million f***ing albums. I can't teach anyone because I just kind of magicked it up. So my lad has got a drum kit in his bedroom and a guitar, I don't know what he's trying to do, both of them at the same time or something. He's also left-handed which is slightly annoying. My theory is that if we have musical instruments lying around the house then they will just pick them up. I don't say guitar lessons today from three until quarter past. If they do it they do it and if they don't they don't."


Vourvoulos: Vourvoulos is situated very close to the town of Fira, on the northern side of the island. All houses, are traditional built, while the village offers an astonishing view of Santorini.

Tarbosaurus Skeleton Dispute – Florida Man Arrested
By Mike| 2013-01-29T21:32:15+00:00	October 20th, 2012|Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal News Stories|0 Comments
U.S. Citizen Arrested over Suspected Dinosaur Bone Smuggling
The complicated story of the auctioned Tarbosaurus bataar skeleton took a dramatic turn this week with American officials confirming that a Florida resident had been arrested over the suspected smuggling of dinosaur fossils into the United States.
Back in May of this year, team members reported on the auction of an eight metre long Tyrannosaurid fossil skeleton (Tarbosaurus bataar) that has been sold at Heritage Auctions in New York for more than one million USD. The ownership of the fossil was disputed and the Mongolian government accused the sellers of the seventy million year old fossil material of smuggling the fossil material illegally out of their country.
To read the original article on the dinosaur fossil auction: T. bataar Bites Back
Mr Eric Prokopi, of Florida was charged this week with conspiracy to smuggle illegal items into the United States and for selling stolen goods. If found guilty, Mr Prokopi could be facing a possible jail sentence of twenty years.
New York chief federal prosecutor Preet Bharara called Prokopi a "one-man black market in prehistoric fossils" and claimed the earlier seizure of a Tyrannosaurus bataar skeleton from the Florida dealer was "merely the tip of the iceberg."
The mounted Tyrannosaurid specimen has been at the centre of a six-month long dispute as the Mongolian government claim that the bones were illegally removed from the Central Asian country and could not be sold. U.S. customs officials impounded the remains shortly after.
The Mounted Tarbosaurus Fossil Specimen at the Centre of the Dispute
Prokopi, who has denied trafficking, spent a year restoring and remounting what had been a loose collection of bones to recreate the skeleton, the fossils were originally supplied to Mr Prokopi from a fossil dealer based in southern England.
The Florida dealer is also accused of illegally importing a Saurolophus angustirostris (duck-billed dinosaur) skeleton from Mongolia and a Microraptor (Microraptor gui) skeleton from China.
According to state officials the defendant is likely to appear in a New York Federal Court next week (October 22nd)
Bharara told the presiding Florida judge that strict conditions should be put on Mr Prokopi's bail, because "the allegations against the defendant are unusual. Among other things, the Complaint sets forth a pattern of frequent international travel and manipulation of United States customs forms."
Preet Bharara concluded by stating:
"Overall, there is a significant risk of flight."

The Switch Up
Katy Cannon
WILLA Drama queen Fashion guru Spontaneous Looks like Alice ALICE Bookworm Allergic to fashion Planner Looks like Willa LAX Departure Lounge. Two girls board the same flight to London as complete strangers. When the plane touches down, it's the beginning of the craziest plan ever. Can Willa and Alice really swap lives for the summer? Things are going to get complicated... The first in a fun new series, this summer read is The Parent Trap meets Freaky Friday and is perfect for fans of GEEK GIRL and SUPER AWKWARD. Praise for LOVE, LIES AND LEMON PIES: "A delightful, delicious and feather-light romance that still manages to deal beautifully with some deep issues." - Robin Stevens, author of MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE
Librarian's Book choice
Teenagers Willa and Alice meet by chance in the departure lounge in LAX airport, and immediately realise that they look so alike they could be mistaken for twins. Both girls are on their way to London; Alice is due to spend the summer with her father's new girlfriend, Mabel, whom she has never met. Willa was going to spend the summer with her actor father in London, and while she was there was going to take an acting course. However, at the last minute, Willa's dad has to go and work in Edinburgh, so Willa's plans are disrupted. Unable to go back to stay with her mother, she is being sent to Italy to spend the summer there with an aunt whom she also has never met before.
Alice, still mourning the loss of her mother, has no wish to meet or spend time with Mabel. Willa, desperate to attend her drama course, obviously does not want to go to Italy. When Alice jokingly suggests that, because they look so similar, they should swap identities - and summer holidays - Willa thinks it's a great idea. The girls successfully carry out their plan; Alice heads off to Italy where she meets Willa's aunt Sofia, her husband Mattias, and their foster children Antonio, Luca and Rosa. Willa stays in London with the unsuspecting Mabel, and attends her course.
This is a very enjoyable read. Willa and Alice are great characters, and the author describes them beautifully - Alice is quiet and organised with no interest in fashion; Willa is dramatic and spontaneous and is obsessed with her appearance. The girls swap their luggage and I loved the descriptions of them trying on each other's clothes!
The book is divided into alternating chapters, Willa and Alice each telling their story, which makes this an easy read. I particularly liked the use of sections of text messages between the two girls, which cleverly links their stories together. As a reader, I found myself really caring about these two girls, and really felt the tension increasing as they realise that their deception is going to be uncovered.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and can see it appealing to many teenage girls. The author shows how the two girls are changed by their experiences in their new environments. Willa becomes less self centered, and Alice begins to move on from the loss of her mother. Both girls learn a lot about themselves and about the value of family. The book ends very satisfactorily, and I hope the author is planning a sequel - Willa and Alice are very engaging characters, and I would love to know what happens to them in the future!

Each School, Department or College can create storage areas each with a separate quota. The quota can be increased by purchasing additional storage via the self-service portal. Standard increases in size will be available for immediate use.
User level quotas are not supported.
To assist with recovering files after accidental deletion, a snapshot feature will allow users to restore previous versions of files.
Behind the scenes, the system makes an independent copy of the data to a second data centre. This is used for disaster recovery, and will be no older than 15 minutes.
Access is via a file share mapped to your computer. This will be a CIFS share which Windows, Apple Mac, and Unix systems can connect to. NFS shares for Unix users will be available in the future.
Username and password will use either your University password or your local department's password, authenticated via an Active Directory. This is likely to be the same as you currently use to logon to your computer. Your local IT representative will configure access for most users and give guidance on which password to use.
To use the fileshares you must be on the Cambridge University Data Network (CUDN) using either a wired or wireless connection within Cambridge.
Access from other locations will require use of the University VPN service.
Each tenancy, managed by a School, Department or College, can have multiple storage areas ('storage projects') set up. Permissions for individual storage projects are controlled by a Data Owner and Data Managers. They will be able to choose which people have access, and set their permissions.
The service is suitable for data at University Data Security - Level 2 – Confidential information – see security guidance.
You must not store Level 3 – Personal and strictly confidential information – on IFS.
The service has been categorised as 'Standard'. Supported hours are standard office hours on working days. Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00.
The system is designed for continuous running 24x7, but in the event of a disaster such as total power failure, staff will be required to manually transfer service to a second site.
Redundant hardware within each site, including RAIDed disks, multiple head nodes, multiple network paths. It is replicated to a second data centre with a Restore Point Object of 15 minutes.
Backup is via snapshots each 5 minutes, which will use the assigned quota. There is no additional tape backup.
The system has been designed to keep the cost of the storage low. It comprises spinning disks with a small amount of NVMe cache. To prevent overload of the system and give predictable performance, each tenancy has a proportionate bandwidth cap.
Ensure you have adequate connectivity to the CUDN. The storage system is connected to the CUDN via 40Gb/s links.
An Encryption at Rest feature will be added in the future.
The charging model is a mix of 'freemium' and charged. The charges reflect the cost for UIS to provide the hardware, but not the costs of the support time.
Each School will be given a free quota based on staff head-count, which they can then divide among their departments. The Schools will always have their free allowance.
Every College will be given 1TB at no charge for one year only, so that they have an opportunity to evaluate the service.
Beyond the free quota, any additional storage space will be charged for on an annual basis at a rate of £150 per TB with VAT charged where applicable, per annum. To reduce administration, we recommend that purchases be made in 10TB increments where possible.
Speak to your institutional Data Owner, who has overall responsibility for user management and creating Data Managers. IFS Data Owners and Data Managers can use the Self-Service Gateway portal to buy and administer storage space.
If you want to know more about this service, please contact your institutional Data Owner.
Cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive.


William (Billy) Gillespie was born in Strathclyde, Scotland, on 2nd October 1873. He played local football for Strathclyde before joining Lincoln City in 1895 in the Second Division of the Football League. A centre-forward, he scored 16 goals in 37 games before signing for Manchester City in January 1897. That season he scored 4 goals in 11 games.
Gillespie formed a great partnership with the great Billy Meredith and in the 1897-98 season he scored 18 goals in 30 games. In the 1898-99 season Gillespie and Meredith helped Manchester City win promotion to the First Division of the Football League. Meredith scored four hat-tricks and ended up the season with 29 goals, whereas Gillespie scored 17.
Manchester City did not find it easy in its first season in the top division and finished in eighth place. Gillespie only scored 8 in 28 games. The following season was even worse and the club finished eleventh. Gillespie lost his place to Joe Cassidy but still managed to score 9 goals that year. Cassidy was sold to Middlesbrough at the end of the season for £75 on the grounds he was not worth his £4 a week wages.
In the 1901-02 season Gillespie returned to form scoring 15 goals in 24 games. However, it did not stop Manchester City from being relegated. The manager Sam Ormerod resigned and was replaced by Tom Maley, the former Preston North End player. In a pre-season public practice game, Di Jones, who played with Billy Meredith in the Welsh national team, gashed his knee. Despite treatment from the club doctor, within a week the wound had turned septic and the player died.
Billy Gillespie against Newton Heath in 1898.
Tom Maley decided to build a team around his star players, Billy Gillespie and Billy Meredith. This included players such as Billy Jones, Herbert Burgess, Sandy Turnbull, Irvine Thornley, and Jimmy Bannister. That season Manchester City won the Second Division championship by scoring 95 goals in 34 games. The top marksmen were Gillespie (30), Meredith (23), Turnbull (12) and Bannister (12).
The following season Manchester City again challenged for the championship. Gillespie was once again top scorer with 18 goals in 24 games. City needed to beat Aston Villa on the final day of the season. Sandy Turnbull gave Alec Leake, the Villa captain, a torrid time during the game. Leake threw some mud at him and he responded with a two-fingered gesture. Leake then punched Turnbull. According to some journalists, at the end of the game, Turnbull was dragged into the Villa dressing-room and beaten-up. Villa won the game 3-1 and Manchester City finished third, two points behind Newcastle United.
The Football Association was now forced to carry out another investigation into the financial activities of Manchester City. They discovered that City had been making additional payments to all their players. Tom Maley was suspended from football for life. Seventeen players were fined and suspended until January 1907.
Gillespie refused to pay his fine and instead emigrated to the United States. He settled in Lynn, Massachusetts and coached football at nearby Harvard University.
Billy Gillespie died in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1942.


Data is these days a keyword referred to being a well-known company. Even though it may appear to be too easy to be even worth mentioning, collecting miscellaneous sorts of information is considered to be something that plays important role regards development of every little business.

Description: Reykjavik is the largest city in Iceland and the capital of this country as well, and it is situated on Faxaflo Bay's southern shores. This city has a population of approximately 120,000 people, and it is the center of history, culture, and government for Iceland. It is thought that Reykjavik was the first location in Iceland that was permanently settled, and it is believed that this occurred around 870 A.D. Reykjavik received city status in the late 1700s, and it is still a very important city today. This city is considered to be one of the safest cities in the world, and it is also very highly rated for being clean and green as well. The city is spread out over a large area, and it offers plenty of open spaces and natural beauty.
Our Experiences: We enjoyed wandering around this city. There is lots to do here.
Description: The Blue Lagoon is one of the top spots to visit in Iceland, and it is incredibly popular with locals and tourists both. The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa that is situated in a lava field, and the warm waters found here are very rich in a number of minerals. Many people with skin conditions including psoriasis have found relief by soaking in the thermal spa here, and there is also a research center here where research is conducted on the health benefits of the mineral enriched water. Visitors from around the globe come to the Blue Lagoon for the health and relaxation benefits that the thermal pools provide.
Our Experiences: We really enjoyed the Blue Lagoon thermal spa, it was very relaxing and we recommend this stop to others. The rules were very strict as far as showering and hygiene were concerned, but that just reassured us. We had to shower before we could enter the thermal spa, and once we were in the water it was so nice and warm that we could not help but relax. The smell of the water was stronger than what we were used to because of the minerals that it contained, but it was not unpleasant in any way. This stop received a thumbs up from all of us.


1st time posting here and was hoping for some ideas or tips on how to charge for service to areas that are hours away in rural areas.
For example, I might have up to 10 different jobs all in different areas averaging anywhere from 3-7 hours away by car.
I have a pretty basic flat price by sq. foot for the scan and showcase...any advice on how to factor in travel costs?
Welcome to the WGAN Forum.
1. 2019 IRS Mileage Rate is $0.58 ... That's what the IRS considers what it costs for you to drive your car.
I agree with Dan...We charge $.60 per mile past a 25 mile radius. We typically travel up to about 70 miles from our base. Past that, we would look for other MP professionals.
Dan has a referral network.. let him know what you need and where and he can refer you.
If it were me, I would have to ask myself whether or not it makes sense for my business to take jobs that were 3-7 hours a way. Could I be more productive with my time? Could I spend the time to generate more business in my local area? Is this a scalable or sustainable approach for the vision I have for my business? Could I develop additional skills that would make me more marketable in my local area?
To answer your question, determine what your time is worth and add an additional fee for wear and tear on your vehicle.
If it were me, I would have to ask myself whether or not it makes sense for my business to take jobs that were 3-7 hours a way.
I agree. 3-7 hours is a very long drive and considering that you will need to come back that turns into 6-14 hours of driving only.
I would go for 3 hours one way especially how far from me a great holiday place(Sunshine Coast) with a lot of private holiday accomodations, resorts and hotels but 7 hours one way ... it should be some really huge space for me to agree to drive that much.
We charge $2 AUD(about US$1.5) per kilometer outside of metro area but this is one way charging only.
Seems bigger that you charge in USA but keep in mind my petrol costs me AUD $1.6-1.7 per liter and I am sure your prices are lower. But we also give 10% discount from scanning rates and we do not charge any travel expenses if a business or a property located within our postcode.
