That is common around here (about once a month, but more after hurricanes) along the La coast. We constantly have jobs that require 10+ of windshield time (there and back), followed by 3+ hours of boat time to do 1 hours worth of work. So that is 14+ hours of billable time to do 1 hours worth of work. Sometimes this will led the client to do better planning on the projects.

Oh come on 🙂 I just sent a crew from Carrizo Springs, TX to Crosby, North Dakota yesterday for a 3 month project. 1,746 miles - client pays for it, but I wouldnt want to be the ones driving that.

I dunno...

Back in my "youth," 2400 Miles a month was about the norm. Some times LOTS more!

About 4 years ago I went up to South Dakota Via Kansas City(Safety training there).

Total of about 1100 miles. Not as bad as from Connecticut to California back in 88.B-)

Did they stop for the night while they were still in Texas?

It's well over 500 miles from my house to my father-in-law's house. We normally start one day and get there the next.

I did 408 on Sunday. I stay in Victoria, TX and drove out to Cotulla, TX to work for the day. I average around 160 per day working around Cuero and Yorktown.
