Depends on the size of the job and s/f price. I used to drive 60 miles for large jobs.
Could somebody just clean my carpets!

The furthest I'm willing to drive without any additional charges is 20 miles.

ha ha I live in fresno its 40 miles across just the town .
we charge for any out of town jobs and we got a lot of that .
lots of farmers here with 3 and 5 thou foot homes you wish you had the money they have but the ones with the real money are the middel men who sell there produce.
all the money not to much of the work.

In my experience, finding the right distance for carpet cleaning jobs is all about balance. I usually define a primary service area based on where I'm located and where my target customers are. It helps keep things cost-effective and time-efficient.

I also take into account how much time I'm willing to spend on the road. Longer distances mean more travel time and less time for actual cleaning, so that's a crucial factor for me.

Fuel costs play a role too. Longer distances generally mean higher fuel expenses, and I factor that into my pricing to make sure it's financially viable.

It's also worth considering the competition in the area. Striking a balance between covering enough ground and avoiding excessive competition is key.

Customer expectations matter too. Some folks prefer local businesses, while others are willing to wait for a specialized service, even if it's a bit farther away.

Lastly, if you're targeting a specific niche or offering specialized services, you might be more willing to travel farther for jobs in that niche.
