BASED IN STILLWATER. WILLING TO DRIVE.
Most aerial firms are pilots who went looking for work. ScenePhoto360 is an investigator who went looking for a better instrument. That order explains everything about how the data comes out — and it's the reason a surveyor, an adjuster, and an attorney all end up calling the same number.
Travel is billed at cost, not as a profit center. $40 an hour in fifteen-minute increments, past the free radius. If the drive makes the job uneconomical, we'll tell you that on the phone instead of quoting it and hoping.
COVERAGE
THREE TIERS. ALL OF THEM REAL.
Not a list of every city in two states scraped into a footer. These are the areas the aircraft actually goes.
TIER 1 · CORE COVERAGE
FREE TRAVEL WITHIN 15 MI OF STILLWATER
Same-day and next-day availability is normal here. For active scenes in this radius, calling usually beats emailing by hours.
TIER 2 · METRO & CORRIDOR
ROUTINE · TRAVEL BILLED HOURLY
The bulk of the work. Commercial thermal, LiDAR survey support, and scene documentation across the Twin Cities and the I-94 corridor into Wisconsin.
TIER 3 · REGIONAL
REGULAR · SCHEDULED IN ADVANCE
Worth the drive for LiDAR, multi-building thermal, and litigation work. Usually scheduled rather than same-day — and often stacked with other jobs in the same direction to keep travel reasonable.
WHAT TRAVEL ACTUALLY COSTS
PUBLISHED, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE
Free
WITHIN 15 MILES
No travel charge at all inside the radius. It's built into the service rate.
$40 / hr
BEYOND 15 MILES
Billed in 15-minute increments. Not rounded up to the hour, not doubled for the return leg.
Stacked
MULTI-JOB ROUTING
Two jobs the same direction on the same day share the drive. Ask — it's often possible.
