This one my pet peeves! You get a pittance to drive out to the customer's site to install an expensive bulb that your company has to purchase and float until the claim is paid. By the time all is said and done (shipping, loss of capital , etc) it's not even worth doing! If you average 5 a month, then you are perminantly deprived of approx $1500 to "float" the purchase of the bulbs every month. It wouldn't be so bad if one could show a 20% return on the use of that money, but that's not likely to happen any time soon. Anybody want to expand into the "beautiful Hudson Valley"?
