Jason --
You can charge whatever you like for any job. Point of charging $300 for the night call out is you are hoping that it is too much and the fellow on the other end of the phone will call someone else. But if in fact he is willing to pay it, then it is worth $300 to go out.

I dissagree.
the point of even answering the phone is to accept jobs and
earn $$$'s.
If one doesn't want to do night calls then they should not
even answer the phone.
many jobs (on their own) are worth the $300 in the middle of the night.

Unfortunately it isn't that simple. Even though you may not have any interest
in doing 2 AM work for 95% of the people who will call there still may be
regular customers you don't want to leave hanging if they absolutely must have
2 AM service. Most serious intelligent people understand that calling for
professional service at 2 AM is going to be expensive. If I called a plumber at
2 AM and he quoted me say only $75.00 or something I would be nervous about
using him. I would wonder why he needed to work so bad to be so cheap in the
middle of the night.
Agreed.
Agreed.

I agree that it would be better not to answer the phone if you don't want
the job. Point is that you don't want the job for the $100 you would charge
before 5pm but will do it for $300 that you are asking at 3am. Your feelings
would not be hurt if the fellow decides to call your competition and have
them do it for $150. The idea is not that it is $300 worth of work, but $300
worth of convenience for the guy not waiting until morning. Now if it is
normally a $300 job you may go out at 3am without charging $900 but may
still add some convenience charge less than 3x the normal cost.

Regular customers do get some consideration in all things.
You may have caught him so groggy that he forgot to ask more :) When he wakes up or the coffee kicks in he may not be charging $75 after all... :D

my whole point is that one should get what the jobs worth
or NOT do the job at all.
