Is being paid for work mileage a money maker?
Have been considering changing jobs lately. Would like to get a field technician type job. Some of these positions come with a company car. Some just pay mileage.
My question is, how much of a money maker can this be? Most companies pay a fixed rate/mile. I suppose this means that the guy driving his Escalade takes a bath. The one driving a TDI probably does pretty well, especially if he really rings up the miles.
If I did it, I would like to use my '09 Sonata, 4 cylinder 5 speed. It has 80K on the dial and still runs very well. I see no reason why this paid for car wouldn't have another coupla hundred thousand left in it, with a little maintenance. Especially if these miles come quickly and are largely highway.
Does anyone here have real world experience with this? How much can you make?
