Poop Longest commute for a job.

**BigMeatballDave** · GBM 8-12-15

I started a new job last week. Seems like a good company. Highest paying job I've had. My schedule will be Fri-Sun. 4a-4:30p. 36hrs, but they pay for 40 hrs. Shift differential. The only problem is its 146 miles round trip. I have to do it one more week before I go to my regular schedule. Fortunately, I have a friend in Cincinnati who has offered up his couch for the weekends. He's only 15 miles from where I work.

Whats the farthest you've driven for a job?

That's actually 37 and one half hours, if my math is correct.

**Bugeater** · 08-14-2010, 06:09 PM

I've done quite a few that were an hour or so away, but they were all contract jobs that only lasted a couple weeks.

**Gonzo** · 08-14-2010, 06:12 PM

80 miles round trip.

Blow or hand?

I figure I will give this place a few months. If its a good fit, I will start looking for a place closer.

I did a 110 mile total per day for 5-6 years then switched locations and have driven 90 niles a day for the last 6.5 years.

Bob Dole's current 6 minute drive is hellish.

Used to drive from Nashua (KC North) to Lee's Summit, which was about 45 minutes there and anywhere from 1.5-2.5 hours back.

112 mile round trip. Love the job so two hours in the car doesn't suck. My daily driver gets about 42 MPG so gas is reasonable.

I drove about 160 miles round trip to work for like 5-6 months. I don't think it's that bad, what's your commute now?

WilliamTheIrish · 08-14-2010, 06:58 PM

144 for over 7 years.

I did 160 miles round trip for about 6 weeks for a summer job while I was still in school which included some occasionally bad traffic. Fortunately gas was a lot cheaper then.

58-4ever · 08-14-2010, 07:47 PM

86 miles roundtrip. Did it for four years.

If you drive over an hour total, the pay better make-up BIG TIME for the time, wear-and-tear on the vehicle, and "stress" of the drive (weather, dependent)...otherwise you need to seriously consider moving closer, IMHO. Just sayin'.
