I know we had a thread on this before but I couldnt find it.
How far is your commute to work? Miles and time.

My last job was driving to clinton from stancil’s chapel every day, on my own vehicle, 54 miles one way working 2nd shift 2-midnight. Many nights i didnt get home til 3-4am due to overtime work.
Currently its less than 8 miles one way, company service truck, usually 6-7am til whenever, sometimes its 6pm sometimes its 11pm. I cant stand a long drive no more. The best part is its not out of my way to stop at my favorite place for breakfast, Brewer’s Gas & Grill which i do every morning like clockwork

6 miles and 13-15 minutes depending on if I have to slow down for deer or a tractor. Sometimes the stoplight gives me trouble...

 

[Eric Revo]

42 miles , usually an hour with stupid traffic.

Ah, fond memories. I used to drive 28 miles from Royal, on 401 in Franklin Co. to Central Prison when there wasn't a Western Blvd. entrance in 30 min. easy. I think I would be hard pressed to make the Neuse River bridge in that time these days. Then I moved up here to northern Granville Co. and it became a 60 mile. one hour drive. Now it takes me an hour to get to 540 on 50 at 10 AM. No way I will even try to head that way before 10

 

[nontypical]

15 miles give or take. 20-25 minutes depending on how the stop lights work out.

 

[Thomas270]

7 miles, bout 8-10 minutes, depending on if I stop for a biscuit or not.

Today was about 4+ hrs and 240 miles, same for tomorrow except i have to work about 9-10 hrs before I start driving. I’m a Consultant, so everyday/week is different. I’ll drive more than a 1000 miles this week. Luckily, next week will only be about 200 miles total. I work from the house when not traveling, so those days I drive 0 miles.

The job I just left, 45 miles/1 hour+ due to road construction at the I40/Hwy52 intersection. A few minutes more on the way home.

 

[TH7]

23 miles and about the same in minutes. Depending on the route I go, one way only has two stoplights. One is usually green and the other is an easy right on red.

Used to have a bumper to bumper rush hour drive of about 20+ miles / 35-40 minutes.

Now, while there are definitely down-sides to getting so old you can retire...rush hour drives are not one of them.

 

[CarolinaReaper]

13 1/2 miles. Approximately 27-35 minutes depending on the morning traffic.

 

[Ol Copper]

9.5 miles to work, I have to go thru 19 traffic lights. If they all hit reds it can take me 30 minutes.

 

[turkeyfoot]

35 to 40 minutes no traffic going but fair amt on way home

 

[boomer]

I drive 62 miles every morning to work and it takes me about 70 minutes. The same commute coming home is about 80 minutes. Going to work it is all right turns (8 ) with only 3 red lights. Coming home it is all left turns and 5 red lights. I rarely see a school bus. It is a nice drive every day.

8 miles, bout 20 minutes. I'm one of the few lucky ones that don't have to leave the county for work. Most folks (other than the people who work at the mill) have to drive to Asheville for a decent job.

560 yards, five minute walk. My former job was 13 miles of bumper-to-bumper and then I got laid off. After a month, I got a cold call about a new job in the office park that's literally in my back yard, and I've been there 13 years now. Most days I walk to work, and then walk home for lunch.

There have been times I've thought about changing jobs, but then I listen to the traffic report and realize my current situation isn't that bad.

I have a home office and a work truck. So I’m on the clock as soon as I fire up my computer to check emails or hop in my truck.

This thread came at a perfect time to remind me how lucky I am. It’s been 8 years since I’ve had a commute and it’s worth a ton of money to not have that stress

 

[wncdeerhunter]

About 15 steps from the bedroom - but I’ve done an hour plus/50 miles

 

[bigten]

7.5 miles, usually about 12 minutes. Plan is to cut that to zero in about 7 months.... Just hoping the stars align and allow that.

 

[jug]

30 yards to the barn
