reimbursing you for the miles driven. That is one way and doesn’t factor in your hotel and food.

Does anyone actually crunch numbers where you work?

My boss just told me I need to do a 2,500 mile road trip this month.

Half of us would love that and half of us would hate that

Hopefully you can go to Turo and get a really sweet car.

Yes. At the very least ask for a rental.

I have a company vehicle. I'll be driving that.

Mister P

2/2/23 10:25am

Are you making stops along the route?

SWKTDweller

2/2/23 10:23am

Just for gas and food.

Mister P

2/2/23 10:25am

Why not fly?

Mister P

2/2/23 10:28am

Seems like it would be cheaper to fly than do 2500 miles round trip

SWKTDweller

2/2/23 10:30am

Unless you're sleeping in your car...2500 miles is easily over 30 hours of drive

SWKTDweller

2500 round trip. It's a construction project, so my truck will be handy.

Mister P

2/2/23 10:34am

Unless you need to bring your own tools I still don't think it is cheaper.

SWKTDweller

My job requires driving from state to state on a regular basis anyway.

Mister P

2/2/23 10:39am

I'd be fine with it to, but "costs" seems like the wrong reason.

Company truck.

Mister P

2/2/23 10:39am

So it is still going to cost them around that much to make that drive.

Asking someone to travel that far and not providing a hotel to get some sleep

Scrog

2/2/23 10:34am

Yeah, I'll have hotels and meals, etc. No worries there.

Mister P

2/2/23 10:40am

Seriously. Is your boss expecting you to sleep in the car and eat PB&J?

Why can’t you fly?

Jeff Spicoli

Cost. The project became bogged down with attorneys fees and

Mister P

Do they value your time at all? Seems really odd to me.

Mister P

2/2/23 10:34am

No kidding. How much cheaper can it be to drive 2,500 miles than to fly?

Ozymandias

2/2/23 10:36am

Not to mention hotel stays along the way.

Jeff Spicoli

2/2/23 10:47am

And whatever he costs per hour. Traveling time is time wasted.

I have a Chevy Malibu you could take and drop off for me. Free trip!

I just crunched the rough numbers. It will be approximately $100

Mister P

2/2/23 10:52am

Are you factoring in wear on the company owned vehicle and the 2 oil changes

Ozymandias

2/2/23 10:54am

1 oil change (conventional oil anyway). 2500 round trip. 1250 one way.

SWKTDweller

2/2/23 10:59am

Also are you factoring in that they are paying you for 2-4 days to do

SWKTDweller

2/2/23 11:00am

Yep you’re right. I was thinking 2500 one way.

Ozymandias

2/2/23 7:10pm

Unless you count the increased liability the company has if you are injured in
