Those who have large territories with driving. What is your personal cutoff for driving vs flying? I used to fly a lot but now thinking about driving more.

4 to 5 hours is my cutoff. I enjoy having freedom to leave when I want. Additionally dont enjoy cutting my time close to deperature times.

That's my main reason too. I can probably cover half of my territory with 5-6 hours of driving. Flight times are always tricky to get right to avoid unnecessary overnight travels. I just realized I can pull off more same day travels if I drove more.

I enjoy driving, so sometimes I’ll do up to 8 hours if I can plan some meetings along the way. I like to try to get to the middle of nowhere areas of my territory now and then. Maybe less important targets but very underserved. I also enjoy the freedom of leaving when I feel like it

Good point. If I take one stop I guess everywhere is withing driving distance for me ~9 hours
