they tend to undercut to .12 or .13 per line. I would love to be able to charge .45 per line. I would pay .30 per line and have the best MTs out there, all making excellent money. We would be called DisneyWorld Transcription, where everyone is happy all the time.

I am still sitting here chuckling over this as I write payroll checks for Monday. 45 cents a line. This is great.

    - then why don't YOU go out and get your own accounts and charge 45 -- if it's that simple... - Shock and Awe

    - How would you KNOW what the owner is charging? You think she is going to share that info? - Jillian
    - You get accts and charge them 19 cpl. Hire and pay us 12-15 cpl and see how long you stay in - business, either by chose or by bankrupcy. nm
      - You guys must be IC's. Us MTSO's know the days of 19 cpl are over...dream on... - amused not confused
