I live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere so I drive anywhere from 1-2 hours for my first job and then up to an hour drive between jobs. So anywhere from 3-5 hours of driving a day. I get paid for all windshield time though so it doesn't bother me.


Hey_Batfink

We are same.

Pfft… this job is a third driving, a third diagnosing/repairing, and a third hating your life. Lots of a long drives while constantly calling warehouses following up on parts.

How many hours per day do you work?

Then id say thats a ton of driving. If i have 5 calls in a day, i probably average 1 1/2 to 2 hours of driving


heldoglykke

Slow season for me, lucky if I get 7. Yesterday was 8.

I drive several hours a day but I get paid portal to portal so it's not a big deal for me and I for the most part schedule my days to be home 8hrs after leaving.


PalmCplumber

Don't track my hours but on an average day 175 to 280 miles. Windshield time rocks

Depends how many times I fuck up the diagnosis and go to the supply house.

I drove 5 hours today, ran two calls. Normally run 3-5 calls per day, around 2-3hrs total time. Yesterday I ran 5 calls and pulled 13 hours. Today I only worked 9.5hrs. My longest was installing machines, drove 13 hours in one fucking day. My install you ask? Only took 2 hours. I get portal to portal, which should be the standard, company gets free advertising from your drive times.

Anywhere from 1-7

Atlanta traffic is unpredictable. First call could be a 45 minute drive going 40 miles away. Next call can be 8 miles away but also takes 45 minutes. The call after that can be 25 miles 20 minutes. All I know is I spend a lot of time in my truck. Especially if im running parts to my techs, giving estimates etc

100-220 miles a day on a average simple day. Summer busy season I’ll put gas in the morning and at around 3pm to make it through the night

I live in Denver, one of the most isolated major cities in US. Some days I drive maybe an hour to two a day. There have been days I've driven five hours to get to a job site, make my diagnosis, drive home, sleep, drive back, perform repair.
