I use the most simple metod: the mileage on the yearly inspection shows total miles, example 36000 miles difference between each inspection, I deduct the 40% because just restaurant to customer are paid miles, non return to base miles or to house miles this is 14400 miles. 58 cents each mile I deduct $8352 car expenses a year and this cover fuel and maintenance and month payments.

If you know the store and shop fast consider it. If you don’t know the store don’t bother. Worst part is when the store don’t have shit you gots call the customer and deal with that. Sometimes they don’t answer ect. I did one or two and didn’t like it. So far my favorite in store thing is pet smart. The notes are stupid one says you have to shop the other says go straight to online order pick up. It was online order pick up got 8 bucks for 1 mile to customer and I was already on my way back towards my zone so it was like 10 mins a few miles total
