I remember that myself..I got $200 for an install....all singles back then..all materials furnished, and paid 29 cents per mile..driving 200 miles one way was not unfamiliar territory though..I remember checks for $3,500 for the installs and a seperate check of average $1,000 for mileage, every week, not 4 weeks out, one week out. What a gravy train..Maybe that's why it is so hard to swallow going down to $70/20 and furnish everything. When I had a contract with RTK doing Primestar conversions, they paid $90/45 and furnished me every thing to do the install. I had about 15 guys running Memphis and upsate NY we were all smiling... We will never see those times again...Damnit
Does this post sound familiar? no those times are still here in some regards I have 2 different retailers that still pay me 100/25 and supply material.............do you know why?????????????/ because I don't give sh## away MEMPHIS I get paid what Im worth but if you want to keep whoring yourself out to the highest bidder please be my guest.........you work for an hsp? Nuff Said
