We have had the farthest distance covered, thought I want to share that averagely have to ride 50 km as I have 20 km distance from home to work and 10 km to visit friends or other relations.

In case the destination and where do we stay at nearby entrance and exit of tollroad, driving car would be a choice. If not I think an automatic clutch moped bike has more flexibility in such traffic jam rather than car or sportbike.

Currently my daily covered distance is about 1 km, walking most of the times. ;)
If I need to visit the other office, it's 70 km per day.

I cover anything from 20 KM to 900 KM in a day depending on if I am in the office or out seeing customers.

Well on days i'm at college I think it's between a 10-20mile trip each way (never really looked at proper distance!) so it's probably around 40 miles 3 times a week!

Most people where I live work in Gothenbourg, so they have to drive 100 kms every day.
I only have to go 1000 metres one way with my boat, but I on the other hand have to do it at least 4-5 times per day baf.

20 miles each way from monday - friday. Takes me between 25-40 minutes depending on traffic and how stupid people are on the day :)

I cover 350 - 800kms daily (Mon - Fri) delivering flowers, house plants, bedding plants and shrubbery in southern England and South Wales. To do the job I`ve got a 460hp Volvo, new in March 2007. It`s done 166,000kms already! My annual leave is a trek by car to NORF.... 5000km round trip. Am I mad? Yes!

Yes Magnus, FH12 Globetrotter.... made not so far from you I beleive, lol. I wont see it again until Jan 3rd, Christmas/ New Year break started today :D . But I`ve still got a long drive to do in my car (also a Volvo, lol) to Perth in Scotland (600 kms) to visit my parents and sister. I`ll raise a glass to you at Hogmanay ;)

I normally do a 30 mile round trip to the office and back but if I'm out at a clients it can be anything up to 50 miles away from the office before we're allowed to stop over. I can often do 100 plus miles a day. :)

I'd like to deliver flowers. Gotta take a look at job offers. :) Just imagine the aromas in the car all the time! Currently I'm delivering breads and other bakery products to little villages about 60km or less from my town. Mon-/Wednes-/Fri-days are about 100kms, Tues-/Thurs-/Satur-days are around 150kms long(total covered distance). I've done this now for four weeks, adds up to 3,000kms then.

Hogmanay Magnus is the last day of the year in Scotland.... party time :D . Street partys and house partys. Most of my Scots friends prefer Hogmanay to Christmas! I do too!
The FH is a great truck, mine has a 12 speed automatic gearbox (I-shift in Volvo speak), which can be also used as a manual gearbox... a little bit like Playstation to my mind! To be honest, 460hp is probably too much for just hauling plants..... but if that`s what my boss wants :)
Private Volvo is S40 SE sport tdi. Only regret is I wish I`d bought a V50 instead for extra room.

I travel between 400 and 700km per day for work. I cover all of Regional NSW, so basically everything outside of Sydney. I usually do a week in the Riverina, a week in the Dubbo area, a week in Canberra and a week up at Tamworth each month. I do about 75000km a year in my company car.

Which one the better between Globetrotter and Mack, I would recommend Volvo currently is the most powerful head of truck, Scania should come after them.

I cover about 110 miles a day for work, plus about 30-40 miles a week in my own car.

My job is as a courier driver.
