Urban (city) area notaries are not exempt from driving issues. It's called "rush hour" and "Roadwork ahead, EXPECT DELAYS" toll roads and downtown parking. A 20 mile drive at 10am on Tuesday morning can be a very time consuming 20 mile drive at 6pm on Friday evening, depending on which direction <and which nightmare freeway> one is traveling on.
<<< Therefore, it is our choice to take the signing at the lower fee and include the travel, or not work. Again, I stress, this is our choice.>>>
True enough, it is a choice. But is the choice to accept work at lower fees with the resulting annoyance, frustration and loss of money worth it? At least if you commanded a higher fee and were bypassed for a cheaper notary, you haven't also WASTED your resources (paper, toner, folders, gasoline, wear & tear on vehicle and equipment, TIME.....). You have those resources for better fee offered loan signings. Notaries are under the mistaken impression that commanding a professional fee means they won't ever get calls again. But who wants lowballers/slow payers/nonpayers bothering them anyway!?! Professional notaries prefer only professionals calling them. |
