First Question:

I've got 3 clients in a town located 40 miles from my shop.  I can  
schedule all three of them in one day, putting the last client whose  
piano I've never seen at the end of the day.  Ok, who pays my mileage?

(1) The first client pays for the drive down, the middle client pays  
nothing, the last client pays for the drive back.
(2) Split the mileage between all three clients taxicab style
(3) Charge one client for the mileage and charge the other two  
roaming charges


Second question:

I have 1 client in a town 40 miles from my shop.  I'm called to  
service the piano.  I am also an accompanist and the same client  
hires me to accompany their mother for her voice lesson...after I  
tune the piano.    How do I charge mileage in this case?

(1) Charge normal mileage fees, one trip down and one back
(2) Charge normal mileage fees and roaming charges

I'm sorta kidding, but it is a little weird.  The client comes out  
ahead by not having to pay extra mileage, I come out ahead not having  
to put additional miles on my vehicle.  Although it can be a problem  
schedule-wise; both the clients and I might want to schedule all the  
tasks to be done in one day to avoid an extra trip.  It's up to me to  
limit the amount of work I schedule in one day.
