Scoring sheet for travel margin, travel fees, and service-zone decisions.
Scorecard for miles, time, travel net value, and travel-fee logic.

Track per job
- Drive time and total miles.
- Base inspection fee plus add-on value.
- Travel fee added or missed.
- Time lost to gaps, traffic, or poor sequencing.
Questions to ask
- Did this job fit an efficient route or break the day apart?
- Should the service zone or travel fee change for this area?
- Would bundling nearby jobs improve the margin next time?
