Both parties are present and neither records jointly
Each writes into their own paperwork, and the two figures are compared six weeks later against an invoice.
WHY THE READING IS DISPUTED
It is taken once and written down twice.
Delivery and collection are the two moments that determine the bill. At both, a driver from the owner and a clerk from the site are standing next to the same meter.
The machine has moved on by then
Verifying a disputed reading means finding a machine that is now on another island under a different hirer.
Standby and operating hours blur
A machine idle on site for a week is charged differently, and whether it ran on a given day is exactly what nobody wrote down.
The dispute is settled by who blinks
Whoever values the relationship more concedes, which is not a pricing mechanism anyone would design.
If you hire out machines, or hire them.
What helps is how readings are captured today and what your last billing dispute was about.
