Mileage Q's

Mark,
 
I never charge for mileage, but I never do individual jobs at distant  
locales.  I always cluster jobs together to make it worthwhile.  If I  was in a 
situation such as yours, I'd definitely charge mileage, as you've spent  3 
tuning's worth of time to do one job.
 
I write the mileage down on each invoice, and total it up when I  figure my 
income on a spreadsheet at the end of each month.
 
I'd rather tune than drive, in most cases,

Scenario:
You are a beginning technician (~2 yrs)
You are called  to do a service call on a piano that is in a church that is 
approximately  80 miles away.
Do you;
A) Charge for mileage for the one way distance  (82 miles)?
B) Charge for mileage for the round trip distance (164  miles)?
C) Don't charge for mileage at all?

I realize that a church  may or may not fall into the category of doing 
work at a discount  rate.

Also, how do you record the mileage for the ordinary  tuning/repair 
trips you make throughout the year? (for tax purposes)
Do  you include round trip mileage or just one way? 

Thank you

Mark  Montbriand
