mileage fees.

I think that is sensible...choose your work area and stay in it...

    Hi Les:
    I used to charge for travel using a map with concentric circles radiating outward from my home base, the travel charge going up as the distance became greater.   It got complicated when I had calls on the same day in different areas.  I got tired of quoting mileage figures to the customer and trying to be fair to both them and myself.   Finally in disgust I just raised my rate to cover an average travel distance based on past experience and lumped it in with the tuning fee.  No itemizing.  Menu pricing.  Made life a lot easier.  If I get a long distance call now that I don't want, I refer to others who are younger and hungrier.
