The three jobs are of equal distance. On each job it is a 30 mile total drive, times your rate i.e @ £2 per mile you are looking at £180

I think he is saying that each job is 30 loaded miles at £2.00 per mile so each job will be £60.00 so all three jobs together would be £180.00

Grandad,

I now see why you asked

ok, so any of the jobs would be worth £60.....(30 loaded miles at £2/mile for the sake of comparison)



our base wants £2/mile TO a 1st pickup the £2/mile to the last drop so 1 would be £60, 2 would be £90 and 3 would be i just dont know.....

£3 pound kick off then £1.70 a mile
For 7 seater it's fare and a half.

Jobs 1&3 are exactly the same, both being the equivalent of picking up and coming back empty/dead mileage.

Job 2 is 15 dead miles going out & 15 dead miles coming back you have a 30 mile trip in between.......still giving you overall a 60 mile round trip...............NO different to jobs 1&3.

On any trip unless it is a silly (come out to me 6 miles up the road and take me a mile further on), will be exactly the same as picking up outside your office i.e paid miles going.....dead miles coming back. The three jobs are exactly in that vein, only your office cannot see it.

I picked a customer up from a village about 15 miles from our base to come to our town. When I told him the price which was the metered fare from pick up to drop off, he told me that he had previously used another company who had charged the same fare as me but had charged him half as much again for doing the pick up. Nice work if you can get it.

Grandad,

Where I'm base there's an awful lot of dead mileage. But unless I'm getting the rate for all the mileage, the jobs are often not worth doing. As long as it works out at about £1 mile for everything, then I'm making some small profit.

In the short time that I have been driving....Ive found that I have to drive about 2-2.5 miles to get to a job and on average the jobs are about £4-6 (estimated).

Whatever you do dont tell the punters that you're new to the job cos some will take liberties

lol ive found the exact opposite actually. Most people have been far more accommodating when i have mentioned it!

and? 2 miles there, 2 mile trip, £6/4 miles sounds ok to me

youd have to record your DAILY total mileage vs takings to get an accurate figure
