I drive out of my way about 5 miles a week. All of my pick up banks are on my way to work. I drive about 5 miles out of my way to dump. How many miles do you put on your vehicle for the sake of CRHing?
Normally less than 5- all my pickups are less than 2 miles from my house and I drop off ny dumps as im out n about-
When I was doing dimes hard last yr I was driving 50-75miles extra a week and that wasnt worth it-
Really isnt worth it if youre driving all over with ag as low price wise and find wise as it is and gas as high as it is- if I had to drive any further id probably stop and just spend the $$$ to buy the ag

just keep stacking, just keep stacking, stacking stacking stacking
Well that is about about how many miles a week I put on my work truck working away from home doing construction. It allows me to see a lot of different towns and hit different small town banks when I am working in different towns.
But it doesnt allow me to do much volume like ordering steady supplies of boxes unless I am around large cities. But hey the gas and vehicle are supplied.
I've realized it is far more profitable (considering BOTH time and money) for me to set aside a little $$$ with each paycheck, or work a little OT at work, and use the "extra" $$$ to buy silver than it is to CRH. I have a good, steady job that pays well. I only somewhat routinely CRH nickels now because it is a relaxing form of recreation for me. My pick-up and dump banks are on my way to and from work, so no extra driving is necessary.
That said when I go on vacation out of state, I order a few boxes of halves at my destination and look thru them, again, because it is a relaxing form of recreation for me.
No matter your reasons, if you enjoy CRH-ing, do it despite the fact it is a money-losing proposition these days.
