I am currently interviewing for an outside sales position with a national company. While everything seems to be going good so far, I just discovered they don't compensate you mileage or a monthly vehicle allowance. This position requires a lot of driving to meet with customers in person and the areas of opportunities is 1-1/2 hours both north and south of me. The base pay for this position is anywhere between 65k - 75K. How would you negotiate this to increase your base for vehicle usage?

If your making 65-75k yiu can afford your own vehicle. In a perfect world yes it would be nice to have a free car and free gas all the time but for the majority of people out there that's not the way it works. At any job I have ever had, if you want to work there you need to be responsible for arranging and paying for your own transportation, which most adults are perfectly capable of doing. Nobody is going to do that kind of thing for you, and if for whatever reason you have been fortunate enough to recieve such luxuries, be careful of developing a false sense of entitlement that may negatively impact your chance of success at new positions you are attempting to pursue. You should consider yourself very lucky to a) be making enough money to afford a vehicle and gas, and b) to be exempt from having to to so even though you are in a much better position to afford it compared to the rest of the workforce out there that does not have access to such privileges.
