A BIG problem for corporations who pay the government allowed .37.5 cents to employees who travel for their company in their own vehicles is that Runzheimer and other travel consulting firms say that the actual cost to drive a mid-size vehicle under 4 years old is over 50 cents a mile.

37.5 cents a mile won't cut it. I charge $75.00 an hour for travel time. That gets me 50 cents a mile for vehicle expense and $35.00 an hour for the hassle. No-one has ever complained, and seem to understand that
it's going to cost more for someone from out of town to come to their location.

You're right...there is an element of "the expert from another location" happening.

Here, people from little towns come to my regular job, and I travel to their town as much for PR for the place than anything else.

It's an honor to be invited.
