[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to come up with a reasonable number, I would start with an hourly rate for the labor, then add the IRS rate for mileage reimbursement, which is something like 55 cents per mile. So that's like $27 per day for the miles, plus if you're going to pay $15 per hour for driving, 45 for that for 3 hours, plus 27, carry the one,

$72  per day. [/quote]

We struggle to find teenagers willing to come sit in our house and eat pizza/play on their phone while our kids sleep during the occasional date night for $15/hour these days. Good luck finding a responsible adult driver willing to commit to working a daily split schedule at that hourly rate.  (The people talking about what they paid in 2012 or in Texas are wildly out of touch with the current reality here.)

Assuming you’re in the dc area you’re  looking at $25/hour at the absolute minimum, assuming you’re providing the vehicle and gas, (much more if you’re asking them to use their own vehicle) and even then it will likely be hard to fill. You should expect to have to constantly be looking for new people to hire as the hours are incredibly undesirable and most are only going to take the job until they can find something better.
