Take it thats motorway 80 miles mo,,,
 
I do less than 10k a year.

if its a big job worth some decent money I would travel for an hour or so but it's mainly local for me.

The closest I work is next door, I still drive my van the 3 meters to outside their house.
 
On average its 1 to about 20 miles. Ave about 10k a year. But have job will travel. I just price it accordingly.
 
If I could park the van so the side door would open onto their front door on every job it would be perfect.
 
Same here its all local, small town aswell, drive end end in 5mins
 
I travel from fareham to Andover and then to Reading everyday. Around 140 miles a day.

Leave home at 6.15 every morning. But I'm always up early anyway. Never home later than 4pm and do school pick ups Tuesday and Thursday at 3.20.
 
Average of 500 miles a week, done 42000 mile in the last two years
 
Live in a rural area, so most workdays travel 60-80mile round trip.
 
mostly round local area so max of 5 miles each way although i have been known to venture in to the big town (southampton) which is about a 15-20 mile round trip.
 
Furthest i usaully drive is 5mins , within a 6 mile radius we have 5 coastal towns and never need to go past cullen which is the furthest @ 5 mile away, and 3 mile other direction a place called portgordon and portknockie,

You can't go 5 miles each way Steve you'd be in the sea! In other words you don't go past that shell garage on the main road!?
 
get my passport out if I go up the hill out of town, unless its oily work or Agas, then off we go distance no object coz they pay more
 
Upto 1 hour. But have occasionally been all the way to Scotland
 
Average is about 200-250 a day.

but then i cover all of NI and and go down to Dublin.
