How long is your commute?

I've done commutes which was 1.5 hours in the morning (and 50 minutes at 8pm with no traffic). I've also done a nicer commute at 25 minutes door-to-door. I have co-workers who commute in apparently 2.5 hours each way. I can't imagine what that's like day after day.

My commute is 2 hrs one way. Right at 100 miles. Back roads slow me down. I work 4 10 hour shifts. So I am gone 14 hours a day. It sucks and now I'm starting to have car trouble. Trying to find job closer to home is a b!@#$.

That's crazy. You might want to think about moving closer to the job if you don't find anything closer to you. I can't imagine what you spend on gas...

1 hr 15 min each way

My commute is about 45 seconds. Roll out of bed and into my office

When I was working in the office I had about two and a half hours commute round trip for work.

Luckily since my job entails remoting into client servers and fixing problems remotely anyways I was able to talk my boss into letting me cut the commute out altogether and now I work from home.

I live in the same hotel I work in =D

I just accepted a job but its 1.5 hours EACH way. We will move eventually when my wife can get a job out there. But for now... 3 hours a day driving!

Its usually half an hour for me each way minus the traffic, but it can be hectic sometimes.

. Hope things get better soon

About 2.5 hours of peak hour driving for me, the morning run is worse. About 55 kms each way. I wish I could have some audio tech podcasts to listen to while sitting in traffic, but it apparently drives my missus nuts - so I dont get to play it.

I roll out of bed and am at work now, but before I did that (with the same company actually) I was commuting about 2.5 hours round trip as well.

25 minute total journey including walking and train, used to be about 1.5 hours but I moved.

Im hoping to move even closer next year (walking distance).

Commuting sucks and (imo) is not worth it.

22.5 miles each way. If I leave an hour before I start, it can easily take an hour. Leave 90 mins prior and I can be there in 25 mins.

Coming home is always an hour commute unless I wait two hours. So its best to do my running around on that side of town before heading home.

Right now, I have about a 30 minute commute.

rsutton

My commute is anywhere from 18 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. I would not commute more than an hour if I could help it.

Zartanasaurus

25mins during peak traffic. 20 otherwise.

Ryan82

10 minutes. I can't imagine having to commute a couple hours everyday

About 45 minutes to go 45 miles.

Pretty much just straight highway.

TLeTourneau

About 15 minutes each way, not too bad.

the_Grinch

Use to take 55 minutes to get in and about 1.5 hours to get home (60 miles a day). Now that I am on nights, 30 minutes to get in and 30 minutes to get home.

bigmantenor

Mine is about 45 minutes to get there, around 1.5 hours home. The drive home should get substantially better very soon, as I am about a month away from being on second shift.

5 min walk

Out of curiosity, werent you in the US? Or is your location actually Melbourne, FL?

SteveLord

25-30min. Still feels too long.

jamesleecoleman

It will be 30 min. I like to drive but it can get pretty boring. Atleast it's close to my dads job and the school I'm transferring to.

VAHokie56

15 minutes on the express way (toll) or 40 minutes on good old interstate 95...I take the toll road.

tbgree00

Mine is about 30 minutes to and 50 from

terryfera

About 5 minutes each way no matter the time of day. When I work from home it's about a 30 second walk from bedroom to the office downstairs

vCole

Currently, 50 miles w/ traffic takes ~1.25 hours.(one way)

Moving this weekend, and will be 103 miles but only takes 1.50 hours (one way) since there's no traffic.

I commute about a half a mile to work. Sometimes I ride my bike or walk.

Takes me 2-3 minutes to get to work....in a blizzard.
