Why Mileage Tracking Matters for Contractors

Contractors drive — a lot. HVAC techs, landscapers, plumbers, and electricians routinely drive 30–100+ miles per day visiting job sites. In the United States, the IRS allows a standard mileage deduction for business driving ($0.67 per mile in 2024). For a contractor driving 20,000 business miles per year, that's over $13,000 in deductible expenses.

Most contractors either don't track mileage at all, or track it loosely in a spreadsheet they update once a year when taxes are due. Scout Pro gives you a place to log and report mileage as part of your normal job workflow — alongside revenue, expenses, and P&L.

Scout Pro also includes route optimization: map the day's jobs, optimize the driving order to minimize total travel, and navigate directly from the app. Less time driving between jobs means more time billing.
