Simple answer: yes*. Better yet, you can deduct the full IRS mileage rate ( 58.5 cents/mile for 2022).
You can (probably) deduct the apartment rent too. You may deduct all expenses that are "ordinary and necessary". It may be a little questionable whether lodging and meals for a job only 55 miles away is ordinary and necessary.

*If you are going to the same work place every day, that is usually commuting and is not deductible, even for the self employed. To be deductible, the out of town job must be temporary and you must have a regular "place of work", i.e.. your home office.
