MileIQ

Tell us about your business. What does a typical day look like for you?

A typical day for us usually involves driving to our clients place of business to help them out with day to day technology needs. We are a technology consulting company and are always driving from one place to the next. Some days I personally can drive to four or five different locations!

How many miles do you drive in a typical week? Where do you drive as part of your job?

At least from MileIQ, it says I drive about 2,000 miles or more a month which puts it at about 400 to 500 miles a week. My business is based in the Livingston and Oakland County areas of Michigan and we serve about a 40 to 50 mile radius from our base location in Highland, Michigan.

What’s changed since you started using MileIQ?

I used to use just an excel spreadsheet to track all of my miles. After using MileIQ, I realized I was missing a lot of my drives. I’d either forget to log it or just not think it was a business trip. Simple trips like running to the store to get parts or a first drive to a new client were being missed because they weren’t on my calendar when I sat down and tracked my miles.

What’s a tip for using MileIQ you’d like to share with others?

Honestly, MileIQ is great! One tip is that you can use MileIQ from a computer through the web dashboard. You can go in and edit or create a new drive from any web browser. I have had to do this a few times because of my phone thinking I was in a different location than I really was (The fault of the phone, not MileIQ).
