Our dockside labor rates, per man hour, range from $75 to $175/hr, depending upon technical level. There is a minimum $250 service fee, which covers the first two hours within a limited range. Premiums do apply after hours (5PM-8PM x 1.5, 8PM-8AM x 2) and on weekends (Sat x 1.5, Sun x 2) and holidays (x2); only where the customer requests us to operate during these times. Work scheduled and arranged for our convenience is always only straight time, regardless of when it is performed. Callouts and emergency service are available, with a four hour minimum for each call.

      Mileage charges do apply outside the boundaries of Bayou Castine (East), Louisiana Highway 190 (North), and the Tangipahoa River (West). Due to increased congestion within this area, job time starts when we leave the shop and ends when we return to the shop. Outside this zone where mileage charges are assessed, time is not also charged, rather it is recouped in these (round-trip) mileage charges of $1.5/mi for a service truck, $3./mi service truck w/ equipment & parts trailer. Destinations outside of 50 miles have a four-hour minimum; destinations outside of 100 miles carry an eight-hour minimum. Per diems are pre-negotiated on a case by case basis.
