How much driving does p&d really do?

When you p&d drivers leave out in the morning, how far from your terminal might you find yourself on a given day? Do you typically stay in the city your terminal is, or do you cover a larger area? I understand routes and bids are different, so responses can vary widely. I'm just trying to get an idea and understand the job a little better. I am not a driver yet. Thank you in advance.

 

I figured it would be a pretty broad answer. I usually ask drivers where they are out of when I see them out where I'm stationed. The answer is usually that they came from an hour to an hour and a half away. Although things are pretty spread out here, I always wonder how much ground they generally cover in a day. They must not have many stops to make.

 

Thanks for the reply. I am getting a better picture now. Out here in the SW, I suppose it's the opposite and terminals service a much greater area.
