 Freelance charge
I've got the opportunity to do some FL work for a reputable, big-time company and want to make sure I don't under or over charge.
Folks with experience, how much do you charge on average?

Could be web, print, TV graphics, etc. I don't have all the details yet, other than it will be working with DFW pro sports teams. Mavericks, Stars and Rangers.
So different jobs average different FL salaries? In the past I charged $65 per hr., but after hearing what some folks are being charged, I feel I may be giving away my sweat.

I usually charge $30 per hour, but if you are charging $65 and earning business ... I think that's good enough. You might want to ask them what is their budget and you guys can work something out. That's what I did with most of my clients.

Can't discuss rates...it's illegal in the states. A little thing called the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Enacted in 1890, the Sherman Act is among our country's most important and enduring pieces of economic legislation. The Sherman Act prohibits any agreement among competitors to fix prices, rig bids, or engage in other anticompetitive activity. Criminal prosecution of Sherman Act violations is the responsibility of the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice.

It's in place to prevent monopolies yes, but it is intended "to prevent arrangements designed to, or which tend to, increase the cost of goods to the consumer."

That does not apply at all to this situation, it is 100% legal, and common practice, to discuss prices with who ever hired you.
