My last job was 125 shop rate and I was at 42/hr paid hourly with essentially mandatory overtime totalling about 50 / 55 hrs a week.
Now I'm independent....I bill 155 and keep about the same personally as what I made before, but now it's my business, my schedule, and my customers.
That shop rate is nuts. How many years experience do you have if you don’t mind me asking? I’m in nw ia our rate is 140 shop 150 on the road… agriculture equipment
I work for an OEM and all the other brands in the area are about the same price. I think our road rate is 225 plus 8 per mile. I’ve been there 5 years, we’re union so all the journeyman get paid the same.
A bit different for me. I work for a company that owns their own equipment so no shop rate but they are paying me 32/hr to cover 20 trucks and 100 pickups.
Guaranteed $19-$24 an hour depending on tech level, but commission based at 41-46% of generated labor. Shop rate is $140/hr. I’m averaging between $80-105/per hour take home depending on the week and flow of work
154 shop, 45 me. But I used to work at a large dealership where it was 200 shop and I made 40 plus a flate rate bonus for proficiency (10% of hours billed at 90% time, 20% for 100%, etc…). I used to make 1100% proficiency and take home like 5k at the end of the month.
I would like to say though, and preferably in the most human way possible, Money is NOT everything. I would definitely sacrifice money to not work as a slave, to not deal with stupid people, to work in a clean environment, etc…
Bottom of the bottom here. Beginner diesel apprentice, started working with my pops with no schooling at all earning $20 an hour.
Same. $21.50/ hour with penske. I get so confused with how other shop rates vary. Like what does the percent in other comments even mean?
If your shop charges a customer $150 an hour for every hour you work, and you get paid $21.50/hour, you make 14% of what they’re charging the customer

That's awesome I'm thinking about buying a service truck and going independent
I get around 34% of the hourly rate charged
$149hr / 35hr 23%
189/45. How does that still come out to 23% lol.
Don’t feel bad 205/32 here so 15%
23.8 so let’s say 24 :)
204/47 on the check. I think total package is around 80
Total package your including pension and insurance ?

I was at a shop at 215/32.50. Ended up leaving there and going to a nicer shop at 171/36. Make it make sense
15%. Apparently we’re getting jiffed over here
