That's absurd
When you are a contractor, you're in business. It's not even sensible to think you had to limit your billables from one client.
I get frustrated with those people working as an IC who don't have a clue what that means, not saying that's you, just going off the question.
Maybe you want to look at what constitutes an IC (look it up on the IRS page) and then see if YOU are adhering to the description. If not, then insist your EMPLOYER list you properly.
You should have given a contract to every client (this means every service who thinks the only one calling shots is them) stating your availability, price, etc.
And for goodness sake I've no clue who would have told you there were earning limits, but can you imagine telling the dude building a house, you can only pay him $25k and then he has to get someone else to finish??
This is absurd
Many MTs are making $1.50+ per page, > 10 cpl, and I disagree with your VR line rate.
What you don't seem to consider are the costs of the service owner. While you may not feel they are worthy or significant, they DO impact profits. And service owners deserve profits, even good ones. Without them dealing with the crap from clients, making sure they are not underbid, stroking egos (including those of MTs) you'd have no work.

I've spent many years as a service owner and I paid well. But as costs began to increase exponentially and rates decrease exponentially, I chose to hang up the MTSO hat and just do MT.
If you are being paid less money than you feel you deserve, have less work than you feel you deserve, why do you stay with that company? It becomes supply and demand. If you say no to crap salaries, then the work will either become more valuable or go offshore.

what **** is going on with job postings for 6 and 7 cpl. who is taking this seriously?
**** Language edited by Moderator. Please leave language out of posts. Thank you.
That is absurd reasoning and a
pretty more defense for them putting too many bodies on an account. Taking work away from someone else's primary is hurting them. Having someone be on multiple accounts with picky account specifics is a sure way not to make any money. And like the Suits, we are in it for the money, as poor as it might be on our end.
Y'know, I just admire you so much. You are probably THE nicest MT
that I have ever had the pleasure of conversing with on any board. I wish you were nearby and we could meet for a cup of coffee. I'll bet you're one fantastic friend! I'm not throwing in the towel just yet. I'm just thinking that it's time I start looking at my options so that if this continues, I have a plan B. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a new day and there will be more work, and some explanations or at least addressing of the issues by D. Somebody had to have told C or D about these posts by now, if they haven't read them themselves, so if they are NOT outsourcing, I would think they would certainly want to put that fear to rest at the very least. I've always had nought but good to say about MDI, and I am more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but as so many people have stated, the silence is very troubling. I'm still hoping for the best. Like Scarlett O'Hara said, Tomorrow is another day.
Old posts say you must use their computer, the pay is low, and the people are not the nicest. nm

You have GOT to be kidding. She was one of the nicest persons I ever spoke with regarding MT.
She is very upfront and open, and was even willing to discuss pay rate pretty much from the beginning, so I wouldn't waste time if the rate they could pay wasn't enough. I thought she was great.
That is the nicest thing I've seen on this board!
kk, you are one sweet person to offer a newbie a start like that! If you believe in karma, this good deed should come back to you two- or three-fold. Good luck to you both!!!
MD-IT has the nicest and most helpful management and staff...sm
that I have ever had the privilege of working for and I've been in this business over 17 years! The company has several divisions, but I'm not sure exactly. I believe there are 2 in Oregon, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Louisville, KY, Florida as well as a few more scattered here in the states. They absolutely do not offshore. My MT supervisor works nonstop to keep us busy. They are also very flexible, do offer employee status, but the insurance is very high (but whose isn't)? The staff knows you by your name and not by a number. I could go on and on. Feel free to email me if I can answer anymore questions. Good luck to you!
The staff are some of the nicest ppl I've ever worked with! sm
I worked for them a little over year ago. I'm pretty sure they paid for spaces. The only problem I had was trying to get a decent line count on the particular platform they had me on. As I mentioned above, the entire staff are super friendly, helpful, and made my experience there very positive. Good luck!
I just adore Harrie. She is the nicest, most patient woman. Her site is the

Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!

TransTech has a job posting on the job board. I have talked with the person who hires (Debbie). She is really a nice lady. They have a M-F schedule listed.
TRANSTECH
Does anyone have any information good or bad on TransTech Medical Solutions?
TIA
TransTech
I've been with them just about 2 years, best move I ever made. The best advice I can give is to give them a call and talk to them. If they are as good for you as they are for me, you'll be a happy camper. Have never ran out of work, pay is decent and DD on time, they often offer VERY good, easy to reach incentives too. Happy MTing!
TransTech
Be very careful. The owner is a very moody person. I only lasted 2 days.
TRANSTECH
Transtech is a very good place to work. The "owner" is NOT moody. The people are the finest in the industry. They value their MTs. The are awesome to work with and for.

I have been with Transtech for 1-1/2 years and it works great for me. I have 20+ years in this line of work and TT is the best company I have ever worked for (and I have worked for a couple of them). I have direct deposit and my pay has always been on time and accurate. I always have work (an abundance of it!!). TT is a fast growing company, adding new accounts, and very busy. They have a very good QA team who are very helpful. They hire USA transcriptionists only - NO offshoring. TT has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board and you can check out some of the things they offer. Also, here is the Contact Us link from their website: http://www.transtechmedical.com/ContactUs.html Good luck in your job search.
TransTech
They have a lot of ads for MTs, are they growing, or difficult to work for, hard to keep MTs. What is the story?
transtech
Yes, I was offered even more money from a smaller company, not national.
TransTech
Anyone have any info on TransTech. I have an interview today.

Does Transtech pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
TransTech
Give Transtech a try. I worked for MQ about 9 years ago only because they bought out a company I worked for. I only stayed with MQ a very short time after the buy-out. I now work for TransTech and they are a great company. You can contact them through their website at:

If Transtech pays 10 cpl for their difficult ESL account, does anyone know what the starting pay for the other accounts would be? TIA.

Do you know if they have radiology accounts? TIA
TransTech
I have checked the archives regarding this company but there is nothing up-to-date on there. I would like to know how this company is to work for, how their platform is, and overall if it is a good company to work for. Do they pay for spaces? What is their average starting cpl? TIA

i applied for them. i have five years experience and work at home. they told me i did not have enough experience
TransTech
I have been with TT for over 1-1/2 years and love it. Great bosses, good pay (always on time), good benefits, and I have always had work. It works for me !!

Poster below said mucho ESLs.

TransTech Medical Solutions (in Texas) does not offshore. It is a US company with US transcriptionists.

Ask yourself this, what is wrong with companies who advertise constantly, are people always leaving or do they hire too many people? You can usually answer your own question.
TransTech
You'll hear positives and negatives on any company depending on individual expectations and experiences. As for myself, TT is about as close to a perfect company as one can find these days. Can't speak about insurance costs, I don't have the insurance. I've posted before about my experience with TT and don't want to bother doing it again. About all I can tell you is nothing ventured, nothing gained.
TransTech
The reason I said I didn't want to post my experience with TT again is I am totally disgusted with people like the poster above who says, baby, baby, sounds like management again. What?! Is there some law these days that says an MT can't be happy with the company he/she works for? So here goes.....First and foremost, I wouldn't know management if they jumped up and bit me in the butt. Don't know who owns the company, don't care. Don't know how many employees they have, don't care. Don't know what their accounts are other than those that directly affect me, don't care. Now from the above, you can conclude that I rarely hear from management unless I have a problem, then they respond promptly. The work is just that...it's work; there's good and there's not so good but it's there and I work as much as I want. The pay may not be the absolute best but it's fair and I average $25-$30/hour so no complaints there. The pay is always correct and direct deposited on time. Tech support is the best I've ever worked with. The platform is easy to learn and easy to use, no going between multiple screens or otherwise wasting time.
Now, Baby, Baby (above poster) if you have management questions, you should probably consider addressing them to TT management. If you have questions from an MTs point of view, you can ask me.
TransTech
I'm PT and speaking only from my own experience, they've bent way over backward to accommodate me. They have allowed me to be very flexible and given me just about anything I've asked for. By the same token, it's a 2 way street and when the need arises I do whatever they ask of me, whenever they ask it, to keep them in TAT. I wouldn't want to say for sure because I don't know but I would imagine they would accept PT and/or a split shift. I wish you luck and all I can say is if they work for you as well as they've worked for me, you'll be one happy camper. In between the *&%^* Company and TT, I think I stopped at just about every national and semi-national in the country before I found a company that suited me.
TransTech
Thank you for replying. Some lady posted that they took out $458.00 from her check, I thought she meant because of ExText. She was saying with ExText, you lose 30% of your line count?
Do you work for Transtech and what does DQS mean. Again, I had sent out a post on TransTech and what to expect if I went to work for them.
TransTech
Thinking of changing to TransTech. Does anyone know if their line rate is compatible and/or if they pay spaces, headers, and footers?
TIA!

I, too, just started with TransTech. What IS the policy for their line count. I don't think I can make 11,000 lines either. The only time I made line counts like that was when I worked for a hospital in Sacramento, CA, in the ER Department. I kid you not, I cannot remember ONE BAD DICTATOR. They talked a lot, were VERY CLEAR, each dictator had their way of dictating which did not take long to catch on to, etc. But my company lost the account. Why are ops the best report to do? Plus with the small font size and a LOT of numbering things at the left margin, I would hope they are not using the 65 character protocol. I could find the answer as I have the papers here somewhere, but it would take longer to find them than if someone already knows how TransTech's line counts work. So far, the dictators haven't been that good OR clear, the font is so small I have to zoom to 150% while I'm typing and then remember to take it back down to 100% when I sign off the job. Plus do you have to start from scratch with the loaded word expander, or is there some place that some shortcuts are already listed. With Smartype, a lot of shortcuts were already loaded. dd stood for adding ed to the end of a word, e stood for examination as that is the most common word used that starts with an e, etc. But I can't use Smartype. To buy an MS Word compatible Smartype, it will cost me $195.00, which is $195.00 that I don't have. I REALLY hope someone will answer me as I just started and would prefer hearing the bad news first.

They are pretty darn AWESOME. What do you need to know.

Is Transtech located in Houston, TX?
