Good luck to plumbers and sparkies charging what they do and maintaining enough business to put them in the big $.

Its no surprise though, trades have been discouraged in the last 25 years and now we are paying the price for a lack of competition.
So out of curiosity who pays for their wages while they're actually driving??????
Minimum call out fee is just common sense.
