How Much Should I Charge?

   / How Much Should I Charge? #31  
Liability insurance was pretty cheap. The much bigger expense was putting my trucks on commercial insurance which I probably wouldn’t have done just to do some weekend tractor work.

That逞エ 299,000 a year each never working a weekend. I think your standard for your labor is pretty high. If you豎*e making that much or even half that much you should stick to that and forget about the tractor work idea.

By the time you pay the real insurance,, and the real taxes,, you will be lucky to have burger money,,,

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table,
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for
peanuts anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ***.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid...

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
to my doom...'

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

The good thing is your part time tractor work doesn’t make any money so you don’t have to pay taxes on it. The op and most others here aren’t running a business and aren’t making nearly enough to pay for their equipment.

Best income tax position I was ever in was when I had a full time job with a W2 and a part time business that I could find deductible expenses and depreciation for to offset every dollar I took in.

Was pricing landscaping policies in my area and 2' was the max dig depth for those policies. For me that will be fine if I go that direction as I will be doing driveways, little bit of ditching so I can stay under 2', if I want to dig deeper the insurance will make me dig MUCH deeper into my pockets!
