Take a look at the schedule below and see if it gives you an idea.  Please be aware this schedule was set up in a large metropolitan area where the clients were all very close together in an 8 mile radius.

If you live in a more rural setting with clients living very far apart you would need to allow MORE drive time and would have to take on LESS clients then listed below.
