ok folks, i've got a question for you to give me some ideas on. i live in a medium sized city in texas, but i tune all over the texas panhandle, which means long drives, which means mileage charges. i always try to get as many service calls as i can, so i can divide my total mileage charge by the number of appts. so i've routed my next trip in maps.google and here it is: click here for the map <http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=6348+suncrest+way,+amarillo,+tx&daddr=34.6775265,-100.739154+to:Orpe+St+to:Farm+to+Market+Rd+657+to:memphis,+tx+to:wellington,+tx+to:6348+suncrest+way,+amarillo,+tx&hl=en&geocode=FQ97GQIdWAHt-SlpWUFP7FEBhzGv_l39ghr9WQ%3BFRYjEQIdrtf--SkVsYSTXHwAhzHmG62rIlDz1A%3BFc73FAIdQKb8-Q%3BFcAeEAIdWt_--Q%3BFajbEQIdAvkB-il3NxzlxYCqhzFgUXZzO_Byqw%3BFebcEwIdItwG-ikd3SbnYF6qhzH_w1T9X-ecmQ%3BFQ97GQIdWAHt-SlpWUFP7FEBhzGv_l39ghr9WQ&mra=ls&via=1&sll=34.918593,-100.461731&sspn=0.906461,1.778412&ie=UTF8&ll=34.917467,-101.0495&spn=0.906473,1.778412&z=10> 313 miles round trip. what i want to know is how you all might charge the customers in each area. what i'm thinking is have a base mileage for the everybody, then the further out the customer is, the more i tack onto the base. make sense? this can get a little complicated but i figure it's the fairest way. thoughts? daniel carlton -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
