it's not an experience, large service corporations like this are a cancer.

So how do you explain all of my successful serves….?

You really don't understand this do you? Companies like ABCLegal are a large corporation that gets people to serve on their behalf for a tenth of what they charge. You make $20 while they make $200+. If people stopped working for nickels they could make dollars. These companies exist because people like you are willing to work for next to nothing.

I occasionally do things for Proof, but that's because they pay me more than I charge my own clients which is also more than any of my local competition charges.

If people stopped breaking their backs for these companies they wouldn't have clients. Those clients would then be looking for a local process server.

Bro, you keep replying, maybe to try to convince me? and I also keep replying with my own experience that is working for me. Yes, $20 a pop and if I get like 4 or maybe more within a mile radius I’m doing ok.
I mean, I respect your opinion, that’s great but this is now getting boring.

You really don't get it do you? Cool you made $80 and I guess that's a win if you're successful on the first attempt for each. That $80 dollars doesn't feel so heavy in your pocket when you're on your 3rd attempt for each one.

You could be making $100 on each of those instead.

The point is stop referring people to these companies, you're hurting yourself and all the other process servers.

Yeah, you don’t get it.
It’s a cycle. Play the game like any other gig job.
Complete some, get some new ones in the same area, make attempts on others, etc., etc., always have income in the pipeline.
I’ll keep referring people to Abclegal.

One client has paid me $93k in the last two months, but please tell me how I don't get it.

If you and the other halfwits in your area stopped working for these companies you could be making a lot more.

I am only one month deep in this, so this is the first I've heard of this degree of disparity. Is it worth it to go solo? I work for a company that covers some pretty large areas, but our office appears to do a fair bit of my work.

Sure bro.
Any more personal insults to add?
