When I called to have someone help me with a plumbing issue, I was told their rate was $75 an hour. I was NOT told that my "time" starts as soon as the plumber leaves their last job and begins traveling to my home. Since it took the plumber 30 minutes to arrive at my home, I only had 30 minutes of actual work time left before I was going to have to pay for a 2nd hour.
