Extra Charges for thick tanks...

[Trent]

Who charges extra for those tanks that are solid from top to bottom. How much do you charge?

Usually charge by the hour,used to charge for each extra backflush. If the customer warns me ahead of time,I will bring some septage from one of my yearly customers to backflush the heavy tank to stir it up once I have pumped it part way down first. I have opened the distribution box on some heavy tanks and jetted them out if solids made it to the field. A broken baffle in a heavy tank is a real concern. If you don't charge extra for heavy tank,the customer won't have any incentive to go on a regular maintence program. plowking

Do you do a base with extra hourly past a certain amount of time?

We charge extra after 1/2 hour on site. We also charge extra for using our Crust Buster, a wonderful tool by the way.

It's this simple, if you want to stay in business charge for your service. If the customer is interested in a good job they will understand a tougher job will result in a higher bill.
