I thought I had it bad with a $25/day meal allowance and justifying $84/night at a Hampton Inn (we have a $79/night limit).
What's wrong with Muskogee OK in August or Northampton MA in January?
Seriously, a lot of these jobs that require lots of travel also require lots of work (16 hour days are pretty common for me while on the road). Ask questions in regards to what the employer believes are reasonable work hours, travel days (some require Sunday departures), etc.
