6679We 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?

6679According to Google (obviously for radius from you these are straight line distances), 85.9 miles for dh8 9hu and 88.8 miles for B4 7AP.

1302may be straight line distances but i have just used google maps it shows 106 road miles from DN14 0EZ to DH8 9H and 113 road miles to B4 7AP from DN14 0EZ

6679We 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 you're empty as it just seems to cause confusion.
