My advice is to take the first one close to home for 12.50 so you can learn the ropes. If you have to go back and get another picture it is not a big deal. But yes I do make more than 12.50 a shop normally. You know why? because I found out I make more money going to rural areas. I make 1k to 1200 every two weeks from this MSC. But I am willing to drive all over my state to get this (and even bordering states). I normally do 4-8 a day on a route. I normally make 100-200 a route and sometimes more, depending on exactly what I can get or do on the route. If a route is light on stations and I can't make my $100 minimum for the route to pay for the extra mileage I revert to adding shops from other MSC's to get what I think I should. I have gotten home as late as 3 am from a route and have stayed overnight somewhere to do a route that I think is worth it. Everybody can't do this but since I only have a cat and a dog at home and no children I am able. Yes, I do get frustrated. What job does not have its frustrations? I've had a couple of merchants get angry, one slammed the cure sheet down on the counter. But most people want the information so they can have fewer problems with these imagings. I have had some thank me profusely saying no one ever explained to them what they needed to do and were very happy to finally understand exactly what was expected.

Is there more than one blue and white chain? The blue and white one I do has no cure sheet...only the green one. And we are told not to go over it with the station.....

On my blue and white there is a two-page cure sheet and I'm allowed to explain if they want to know or ask. I have some others that I can't tell them anything just hand them the cure and leave or take the pictures and leave. It depends on the contract. I have some that say, Tell them to contact so and so and some that say tell them to go to such and such a website, so it depends on the contract. I also have the book that was emailed to me to illustrate certain things that I don't want them to feel like it's just me saying it I can show them in black and white. The book is good to show them the way they want the bumper poles painted and decaled. Again it varies according to contract. But since this one allows it I don't just hand it to them and leave.

Well, my "blue and white" stations such as what was described in the original picture don't have a "cure" sheet. My "green" shops have that "cure" sheet that mandates I fill it out and present it to the attendant no matter if the station has a problem or not.

Lately, I'm finding some "red and white" shops that are named after the big company. Still do the same inspection though.
