Wim and everybody, I was never taught anything about travel time that I can recall. I just know that after I get too far from home I want to be reimbursed for the extra time. I got a map of the state, cut it down to my local area and pasted it onto cardboard. It now measures about 8.5" X 11". I put a compass point on my hometown and drew three circles, 15, 20 and 25 miles from my home. Service calls 15-20 miles from my home are charged an extra $6, and those 20-25 miles away pay an extra $12. I always tell clients about the mileage charges when I receive the work order. I often suggest to those in the $12 area (or beyond) it might be better to find someone closer to their home, but they usually want me to come anyway.
