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

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.

Are you making stops along the route?

Just for gas and food.

Why not fly?

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

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

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

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

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

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

It will cost them $1600 for you to drive your truck there, assuming they are

Company truck.

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

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

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

Cost. The project became bogged down with attorneys fees and

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

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

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.

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