This has got to be a crucial factor in your pricing- how long do you spend in your van travelling between jobs. Time is money so the smaller the radius of your customers generally speaking with run of the mill jobs the better.
So your prices may be high but if theres alot of time wasted travelling between then averaging out its no better than someone charging alot less but having no downtime.
The lesson here is dont take much notice of what Joe Bloggs says hes charging , work out your own pricing to suit your circumstances for what you need to make.

Some of my best customers live seventy miles from me so I could never restrict myself to a six mile radius , but is is nice to have the customers in my own neighbourhood too.
I also visit two off shore Islands regularly and sometines I say to myself why do I bother when I am busy enough on the mainland anyway, but then I have built up a friendship with these Islanders over the years and they are more than just customers to me.
