While this coming Friday I'll be driving all the way to San Francisco (80 miles) for My Rug and on Monday I'll be going to Redwood City (57 miles) for a fatty, today I have 3 jobs five miles from home and all 3 are within a 1/4 mile from one another

I average 60 miles a day, I serve a pretty big area so sometimes they are all close together, sometimes opposite ends of the universe

Topeka and Lawrence are both small. 15-minutes and you can from one side to the other in Topeka, Lawrence even less provided you don't get caught up in KU game traffic.

You are driving one way 950 miles. Or round trip? Either way. Nearly 500 miles one way.

Must be real fat!


90% of my work is within 10 miles.

I do a rare job now and then 60 miles away.

For the right Jobs, I will travel a couple hours.

Hard to give a number as we are not really established yet, But most have been 25 - 35 round trip it seems.

I go out about 45 miles to clean but im picky and try to turn down minimum jobs. Old customers I take care of wherever they are. Floods I go further for because the money is better. Most of the work I do is contract work and I go wherever the work is for the customer.

Normal day is a good 100 miles, but I have been known to drive 1300 plus for what I thought was a good deal.

I average less than 20 miles per day, home-work-home.

Use about 10 gallons a week in gas.

This is by my speedo reading, the time I've had the van, and fuel tank capacity.

This includes long distance trips that I do for insurance work.

& I never freeze nor get snowed in.

For three weeks of the month, I'd run 20-30 miles a day if that.

The last week of the month I run up to 1600 miles in 3-4 days doing inspections and fault rectification throughout the North Island of New Zealand.
