I receive from $65 for a DH to $80 plus mileage for a DH. That is before taxes. Travel up here can range up 100 miles one way although that is rare. Most of the time I am traveling 30 to 40 miles one way. The schools set the rates and we either accept the contract or send it back. No one ever promised me a rose garden.  |
I do not take games where travel is more than 40 miles round trip (unless it's a DH) because our 'cheap' association doesn't pay mileage. We were told that our 'new' contract will give us a $4 per game raise (up to $61 per game) but no mileage pay. At about $3.10 per gallon it ain't cheap to drive to games in my umpmobile.
I will take a HS game further away if I can schedule another game (Adult League) on the way home (but never more than 60 miles RT). I'm able to do this a couple of times per week so I'll drive further on those days.
