What does does 15 min job look like?

admin

I hear this often from potential clients...  "Got a small welding job",  "need some tack welds"  "should take a few minutes..."I have not encountered a true 15 min job...I suspect it would be a job from a fabricator who has done everything, but weld????
Reply:I had a secretary from a logging outfit call me up, their genius was elsewhere and they got a quick job, I know her and know she is fos most of the time anyway,,, well cant you just to get them going like she absolutely knows anything about it, big mess, oil all over, I tell them they can have it back next day for 800,,, that end their idea of quick jobs.  guts ripped right out of a rotator.  They were upset I just couldnt tack it back so they could get going.   I told her, send the men home and can pick it up in morning but they went marching off.  I aint messing with them no matter how much stuff they got.www.urkafarms.com
Reply:If I had a buck for every "quick fix". They all get the same treatment: 2 hour minimum and travel time. If they bring it to me for a "quote", it goes in the "quote pile" or stays on their truck.
Reply:I've learned to never be available for a new customer with a 15 min job. It's either a horrible job or someone who went let you leave.Like fixing galvanized boat trailers... that's code for run because the galvanized is the only thing holding it together anymore and when you strike the arc, you blew right through it and made the job worse.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
