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.

I dunno...

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

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'm currently working on a project that I'm logging 1,000+ miles a week...


I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you...
