I'm sub contracting this summer. I'm supplying tractor and driver to another contractor. They are providing the implement. We've agreed an hourly charge.
If his implement breaks down, do I still charge full rate for the time I'm waiting for it to be repaired (or repairing it myself)? If I break down, do I instantly stop charging until I get going again?
If my tractor isn't running for reasons beyond my control (waiting for fuel, waiting for directions etc etc) what do I charge?
Fairness and common sense will cover most scenarios. But if I'm parked up waiting for fuel for 3 hours who's loss is it? His or mine?
