Da gummint gimme mileage writeoff, so I don't charge for socal. I have had a couple of per diem contracts, nice when it can be done. I don't pretend to remember the rules.

I almost considered going for the over-6000 GVW vehicle (strange twist of the tax law originally designed for farm and heavy machinery, now one reason you see so many Hummexsubdivisions around), but the gas would be so much I just cringe...

Been too long since I've actually had a flight time to say. Customers usually send their own person more cheaply to shove in the media and then I just VPN or whatever. Whether I would charge if I did would depend, probably be like the others posted.
