On today’s drive-by episode, Jesse from Maine calls in to ask about “team flat rate” pay for technicians and if it’s beneficial to implement this pay structure in his new shop. Chris explains that team flat rate, which is actually called "pooled hours”, has good intentions but it usually ends up decreasing productivity for the shop.

Chris shares a personal experience on how these kinds of pay plans negatively affected him as an advisor, Christian gets the wind taken out of his sails in regards to his regularly scheduled jokes, and the two also chat about the importance of fantasy football. Not really, but there is football talk in this drive-by, so make sure you tune in!
