Hi guys,
I posted something similar to this a while back,
On that occasion I had to wfp a double decker bus from 1 location just for a couple of days,
This time around,
I have been asked to clean a double decker bus at various sites around the midlands, north west and north wales every day over a period of 3 working weeks.
It is for a good client so I don't want to be over charging, but I certainly don't want to be over charging.
If you were in the situation what would you do? Not cleaning it isn't an option.
Strange one I know, but what are everyones thoughts?
Cheers,
Dean.

-
2 serious replies there then. ;D
you know you can trust me dean ;D ;D ;D ;D
for a stupid answer :P :P :P
-
How far is this bus going? if in week 3 its gonna be 120 miles away it needs to be factored in, you must be having a wind up anyway ;D
-
Told you il sort it m8
-
How dirty is it going to get driving from say stoke to Wolverhampton?
Just allow 1 hour cleaning + travel to and from and put an hourly on it you are happy with?
-
Some sensible answers coming in now,
Thank you. :)
-
if you know before hand which areas it is going to be in and on what dates can you not sub it out for areas that would make the job expensive if factoring in travel costs
-
The thing is you need to know the location of where the vehicle is going to be from day 1 so you can work out travel etc .
Charge the travel rate , charge the hourly rate for cleaning etc its your business you know how much you will be earning on a regular round so factor that into the price .
-
We know where it's going to be
-
Do you like buses?
-
buses are the future ;D
-
and if you dump 1
2 will be along soon ;D ;D ;D
-
Yes I know where its going to be, and what times.
Ranging from caernafon in north wales to bradford in yorkshire down to nottingham across to stoke on trent and everywhere in between.
Crazy isn't it. Ha.

What's your daily average at the highest? Charge that for just the travel time. I would imagine this type of job would involve you spending several days at a time driving/doing nothing where otherwise you'd be earning. Add a healthy pence per mile rate on top of that, and any cost of accommodation and such. Then there's the matter of chargin for actually cleaning the bus, it would be a pain, so charge very well. If they want to spend that much money on keeping the bus clean you better price it properly.

i dont reckon its gonna happen that way tim, they are not gonna pay £250-£300 a day to have a bus cleaned!!! prob more like £45 a day i would guess? but as it gets further away travel time is more of a factor...come on Dean spill the beans ;D
-
It's to be cleaned at various locations
Over a month
Them are the beans
-
I do a large motor home and I charge £30 ( that includes the roof)
£45 would be what I would charge for a large bus

-
No use you coming forward to help
Then laa
-
Nightmare :'( you would need at least £20 to clean then any travel costs
-
Sounds an absolute nightmare, I think I'd steer clear as what you'll need to charge will probably give them a coughing fit
You could always sell them the means to clean it themselves at hugely inflated prices
Ie. backpack, pole and DI vessel

£45 a day would be crazy. He's driving from Wales to Yorkshire etc. Depends on how much he makes a day. Either stay local and earn x amount per day, or drive all over the place for at least the same money.
The only thing I can think of is the coach being either from a football club or band? If they want it cleaned every day than they would have to pay for it.
-
It's not a football bus
Don't you lot stress over it
He's not driving fr Wales
He's in stoke
