I agree that a better rate is needed, or at least a better scheduel so you can get more work. I think (and Im going out on a limb here) that the reason your boss is offering you 2.50 is he is saving money. This is fine as long as it benefits you both.

My boss moves equipment cheaper than some of his competetors. He moves freigt that way too. However he makes it benefit him. If someone calls and asked to move a peice of equipment BY this date, its cheaper for them than if they demand it ON the same day. Fedex charges more for express than 3 day ground and for good reason.


Your boss may also know others who needs equipment moved and may be able to get you networked up. Maybe offer to give him that cheaper rate if he can get you more business. Just something to ponder.
