5839We double it if you're empty at home (I might change this). What was the pickup postcode of the job you got the text for?

1302i had 2 texts yesterday both over 100 miles from my base, [postcode] & [postcode]

5839According to Google (obviously for radius from you these are straight line distances), 85.9 miles for [postcode] and 88.4 miles for [postcode]. Both are double the 45 miles.

1302may be straight line distances but i have just used google maps it shows 106 road miles from [postcode] to my home postcode

5839We draw a circle around you and see what falls within it. I do think I need to simplify it and not double the radius when empty at home, but just use the radius you specified.
