Been looking at moving for ages finally decided on a place 20 miles from my current address. This means for 2 weeks a month a daily round trip of 40 miles to work and back. Most of my work for that period is within 3 miles of where i live now. Luckly i have built up a weeks work only 6 miles from the new place which means 1 week of 12 miles per day roughly. .The last remaining weeks work is in an area which will be a daily drive of 30miles each way :'( :'( It is a nice compact round though. Not sure if this last weeks work would do my head in driving 60miles 5 times a month. How far do you lads travel to work? Is 30miles to far? I suppose i could sell that week?

I live just outside Cambridge, so have got alot of work in this area, but i travel as far as Ipswich once a week, but local stuff id say i travel about 50-60 miles round trip!

i have one customer around the corner, but all my other work is between 25- 30 miles. (50- 60 mile round trip) Not ideal, but its worth it! :)
-
My furthest job is about 15 miles away. The bulk of it is within 10 miles though and some of it is within 2 miles.

Most of my work is local - around 1 - 4 miles. 6 Miles is about the farthest.

Hi All
We cover a 60 mile radious of cannock, most is around 30 miles.
I find traffic worse than mile-age, we travel to bitmingham, approx 20 miles or less but is average of one hour travelling or more. But, we travel 30+ miles to near crewe & do it in 40 minutes, i would prefer to travel than sit in traffic.
We have a weekly job near crewe every friday, most weeks is good but sometimes we hit traffic, but i would still prefer to go there, this morning, leaving at 0630 for job in castle brom 1 hour minimum travel. Ilook constantly for work north of me for better journeys.

I travel 20 miles to work & 20 miles home EVERY day.

We travel anywhere up to 60/70 miles away from our base, however, we charge the client travelling time so it doesn't effect our hourly rate!
If you have several domestic customers in this area then I don't see a problem with 30 miles, we would do that without too much trouble.
-
You guys who travel; don't you find it a real bummer when you've driven all that way somewhere; then get rained off?
Okay, okay, some may say we work in the rain; but do you really, when it's comming down sideways?
