Any idea  how many times you might get called?  Has anyone taken call before 
to  be able to tell you how often they got called?  How long does the average 
 
visit take or would these be "emergency" visits?  Finally, how far  would you 
possibly have to travel if you got "called out".  I took  24/7 call for our 
county jail for 4 straight years, but never had to go  their. Let me know 
these questions and I'll let you know how I figured it  out.

The average calls per day would be 2-3.( for the emergency calls). The  issue 
is that we would be covering 3 counties. The farthest distance from a  
central location could be 40 miles.We would stay in a hotel, The average visit  
would be 1 hour.
I covered for two weeknights and had a call each night.Total time 3 hours  to 
call and back. There is also issues of safety and traffic. 
It seems the pay they offered is not even hourly for the day hours. 
Thanks for any assistance.
