From Alice Springs in the dead centre of Australia, I had a territory about 500 km (300 miles) South, and the same North. (there was only one road) The joy was that there was NO!! speed limit in those days. I used to drive it at about 160 to 200 Km per hour. Nowadays I have a territory that covers 200 km North, 150 km South and about 400km West. We're on the coast and there aint a lot of East. Some of our most distant machines are direct sales from Canon, with no mileage allowance in the contract. Lexmark used to pay us a mileage allowance of $1 per Km which was just as well because our territory for them was about 500km in the 3 directions. My first delivery out to Cracow a mine 375 Km west I delivered a Toshiba es250 in the back of a Station Wagon. The last 30 km were so bad, I killed 2 tyres and 3 alloy rims, driving under 20km per hour.
