Ok with Diesel over $4.00 a gallon and gasoline nearing $3.50, will there be a change in the amount offered for travel??????? I was shocked last year when I was told that I would be given $600.00 for travel to and from my assignment. That's what I got back in 1989 for my first travel assignment. I complained but apparently on deaf ears, because that's the same amount I was offered again this year. With my decision to go full time in an RV and travel nursing I want to ask the readers here what a reasonable amount is to expect, or demand. I am getting around 10 mpg with my truck and 5th wheel. It was around 1700 miles from my home in Kansas to South Florida. It's going to cost at least $680.00 in fuel to get home. The last time I filled up the price was $3.65 and it was costing me $.23 per mile. My trip down pulling the trailer was around $.33 to $.36 per mile. I figure I will be looking at at least $.40 per mile on the trip back north. Thanks and if there is any way to link a poll with this I'd like to do it.
