Some of the default distances are potentially a little inflated however there are other considerations. In many cases the trades don’t get to spend a full 8 hours on the site (in fact I think that’s often a rarity) so they would usually make more trips than one to complete 8 hours of work. They also often make trips during a day (or take a diversion on-route) to procure supplies. Trades often aren’t able to choose where they work, they will take the work even if it’s not local. So in some cases trades will be travelling these distances (or further) each trip.
