Three possible replies to this.

#1. I have a MiFi device, so I can get started with the preliminaries as my spouse drives. And of course, once I arrive I'll be on-site with your team.

#2. Because I provide my own living arrangements, my expenses will be much lower. I'll charge you diesel from my current location instead of a round-trip business-class airline ticket, and the RV park is $300 a month, vs. $150 a night at a hotel. Since I tow my car, you won't be paying for a rental. And you won't be billed for bi-weekly weekend trips home, as I bring my home with me.

#3. (fudge it a bit...) I can be there as soon as I finish wrapping things up with my current client. Probably on the 9th.



#2 A huge enterprise company would probably reject you for nickel and diming on their behalf. The billing rate is incredibly high mainly because they just want their job done.

#3 A consequence of high billing rates is that you will be required to be there as soon as possible.


When I pay someone $3000 for the day, I expect them to arrive in two hours in a fucking G6.


Winston Wolfe arriving in an NSX. Gotcha.
