The tech I have been working with has been raking up the miles pretty fast. Over 500/wk is not uncommon. It will probably drop off a little as I will be taking some of the load off him.
Guess I will find out what sort of a money maker it is soon.

I just took 1200 mile trip at the .56 cents/mile and came out $700+ ahead, not counting insurance, wear and tear, etc. That's at 30 mpg. I also got paid for 16 hours of the 20 hours of driving. I was ok with that.
