How far do you drive to work

I spend like 1.5 hours in my truck a day getting to and from work. How far do some of you drive to get to work and back??

I'm only like 27 miles from work but I go thru downtown Louisville so it takes me about 45 minutes to get there...:mad:

[mikey726]

I drive about 20 miles, but at 11:30 at night there's no traffic.

[Ryan]

I remember my dad having a 1.5 hour drive to work, and a 1.5 hour drive home (If he doesn't hit any traffic.)

[Glow Plug]

I take a 5 minte bus ride to get to school

and my mom and dad have about 15 minute drive to work in the summer and mabye 20 in the winter


oh and were about 30 some km for where they work :)

[flyin#5]

well its about 10 minutes to school. my moms work isnt far from school so the same time. my dads work is about 6-8 minutes away.

[zephead400ex]

I drive 40 miles round trip, takes me about 15 minutes each way.
I used to drive about 120 miles a day when I was going to work and going to school full time...that sucked!

[remlapr]

Rico - I'm in the same boat as you, traffic around here SUCKS!! I have to go 27 miles each way too, but I have to go across the damn bridge each way. It takes me an hour plus at least a couple of days a week to get there in the morning, about 45 on the good days and 45 to get home. I really got screwed. My office used to be 3 miles from my house and last year right after we bought this house they announced that we were moving out to Lynn Station Rd. :cuss:

[killed300ex]

i drive 14 miles takes about 20 mins and my mom drives about 15 ma depending on traffic and my dad drives 45 mins each way I dont think thats what bad some kids at my school(private) drive an 1 1/2 hours each way just for school

killed

[kgbg]

I drive about 15 miles across Salt Lake City every day and night. It takes me from 45 mins at rush hour, to about 20 mins if I leave early or late.

[2001400ex]

5 minutes.

[K_Fulk]

I live like 200 yards away from work. :blah: But it still takes me about 5 minutes beacuse i have to take my daughter to the babysitter before i go to work.

[AtvMxRider]

It takes me roughly 10 minutes to get to work. I know it's rough driving that far but somebody has to do it............:blah:

[AndrewRRR]

Takes me an hour to go to work and an hour and a half to get home. It's a little under 30 miles away. This is taking some backroads to avoid traffic and about 10 miles of freeway driving.
Now that I'm back at school, it's 15 minutes each way... walking :D

[WalshKFX]

it takes my roughly 2 mins to get up to the farm behind my house. but when i work construction for my dad it is 5 mins to the office and when we are on a job site it takes long. like the job that where are doin now, a new subdivison that is 1 mile long it is like 20-25 mins away and we got another job that is 30-45 mins. so it is different for me depending on where i work.

[MOFO]

zero...


office is at home. but when I go to my client sites it can range from 15min to 1.5hr's in my area. If I am covering vacation time for other people I could find myself all the way down south of Charleston, WV or west of Cleveland, OH! :eek2: Thank god for a company van...

6 miles, i work at a modular home manufactuering plant

[AlaskaSpeed]

I leave my house about 7 min til it's time to start and I have time to spare....not many traffic lights working before 5am....:D

[Pappy]

62 miles door to door 1 hour and 15 minutes .....sometimes faster sometimes slower.

[Woodsrider]

26 miles each way, fourtyfive minutes to an hour to get there and an hour to an hour and a half to get home,(including the stop at the cave for a road beverage).As it gets darker and the rains get worse in the winter the drive home can take up to two hours.

[Doibugu2]

37 miles if I go the shortest way. Takes bare minimum of 50 minutes. But my normal commute is 1 to 1:15.

For awhile it was taking 1:30 because they were working on the highway that I was taking.

Such a waste of time:(

[wyndzer]

Takes me about 10 minutes.

[cjpoole1]

3 miles, about 5 minutes.

[Merriman]

I work less than a mile away from my place. If I drive I can't even make it through a full Punk song before I'm at work

At lunch I go home and sleep...:o

[400exmom]

i drive 40 miles one way into the stix this month to a farm house im fixin up ~ nothin out there but 5 out buildings cornfields , and lotsa farm kitties that think im thier mommy:D i dont mind the drive there- its dodgin all the deer runnin acroos the 2 lane road i hate:mad: :mad:

25 miles, takes about 35 to 40 min each way. because I drive to White Brothers to pick up parts on my lunch break

[CBW]

Depends.......sometimes work is about 10 minutes away.......but sometimes it up to 5 hours (one way) from my shop:p Gotta love that travel time and mileage..........LOL

[1rancher]

It depends to day I drove round trip about 180 miles. other days I will drive about 30 round trip I am a vender and it depends on what I have going on. TODAY SUCKED. Also I was one of the people stuck on I-71 wed. the wreck happened about an hour before I got to the road block and I sat in traffic for almost 2 most to hours. But I got paid for it sitting there.

Ahhh isn't it great:rolleyes: I'll speak for Ron on this one LOL

I used to drive that far & long glad I dont' anymore!!

[redroost85]

I got about 30 minutes each way, depending on the lights. Living in the valley can suck sometimes. Crazy fog and possessed deer just running amuck all over the fricking place! Now where's my gun....lol!:devil:

[Woodsrider]

(in a sassy mimmicking voice) "ahh isnt it great"
Oh piss off! I hate this time of year! Going to work in the dark, coming home in the dark:grr: Oh and all those cheery Christmas shoppers across the street at Southcenter mall. Just out there to ***up my commute:cuss:
This is the time of year that I drink the most. All those shopping moms out there in a "shoppers euphoria" yappin on the cell phone and not payin attention to the road.
God I cant wait till summer so all the moms will have to stay home and watch the nose miners, and stay off of the road:mad:


HAHAHAHAHA Okay I feel better now:D

[Guy400]

I wake up in the morning at work. I check the email, pager and cell phone. No barkin' from the dogs and I don't leave the house:D We've been extremely busy at work lately so I haven't had the opportunity to lounge around the house and get paid:(

[Bill Fuller]

Clarksville to Nashville sometimes Murfresbourogh.I leave the house at 6:15 in the morning and can get to Nash at 7:20 or so.If I have to go to Murf than it's about 7:45.I usually come home from Nashville and if traffic is cooperating than I can make it in about 65 minutes.The 'ol van rolls on pretty nicely at 85 mph.:D

I remember driving from Clarksville to Nashville on a few occasions. I miss the Italian Street Fair there in Nashville. Do they still do that? I got a ticket for sleeping on the freeway on the way home from a MotleyCrue concert in Nashville. Damn trooper scared the chit outta me:D
I got my tattoo in Clarksville, cant remember the name of the shop though.

[Tommy 17]

6 blocks and it takes me longer to start the truck and park it then it does to drive to school:p

[JD400exrider]

Depends where i am going. I own an inspection company. Every day is different. Can range from 10 minutes - an hour and half. Depends where the house or building is. Not uncommon to drive 50-75 miles in a day. Traffic in the last few years has gotten bad. :mad:

I wish I had your job:(

Have you ever spoken to Kristen White?

I know what you mean about the 2hr winter driving:mad: It gets so bad here, that I used to make tracks in the wrong lane comming home from work so my mom could make it through some of the drifts in her taurus. Road commision needs to wake up a bit earlier.

Just venting a bit, I worked over 13hrs today:grr:

[batgeek]

27.2mi from my driveway to the parking lot at work.

it's not that bad of a drive. takes about 35 min. the only thing that bothers me is the gas. ~$35 a week, but i don't complain too much, i'd never own anything with less than a V-8 in it :D

[muff]

15 minutes for me..not to bad but thats an extra 1/2 hr i miss of being on here :(

[exrider360]

i drive inn the big yellow school buss ofr about 15 minutes.

[2qk4u]

[Natertot426ex]

I love 15 miles from work and it takes me 25 minutes with a coffee stop.

[pa_countryboy]

35 min. with no traffic or an hour with traffic one way stupid tunnels. if I stay at the office all day if not it could be 2.5 hours one way

[infantry317]

52 miles each way. I live in a small 14k people town (good town to raise a family) but work in the Minneapolis metro area, the pay difference is worth it most of the time.

Sounds like me an Pappy are in the same boat. I drive about 1 and 10 minutes to work. During the week, I also drive and additional 1/2 hour from work to college, and the return trips are obviously the same time. I've had my car just a little over 3 years, and I've put 100,000 miles on it.

[Guy400]

Our company policy on van's is 3 years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first. I chalked 74,000 miles in 19 months. I just got my new van at the end of September and I just turned 12,000 miles.

our policy is "run them into the ground" until major maint is required. Those SOB's just sank $3000 into my rebuilt tranny when it had 140k on it. I was really hopin they would junk it.

Wow, what's the blue book on a '99 Astro with 140,000 miles on it? You'd a thought they would've junked it. I'm pissed because I just got my new E150 a little under 2 months ago and Diebold just signed a contract with Chevy to provide our vehicles:cuss: We now have a choice of Astro, Express (fullsize van), Silverado 1500 with V6 or Silverado 2500 with V8. I'm stuck with this POS Ford for the next 58,000 miles. It's only got 12,000 miles on it and I'm already having problems. A pipe that's welded in the cat has broke so it rattles now at idle and my front brakes feel like they're warped already.

[Woody_YFZ]

32 miles each direction, 4 days a week.

[K_Fulk]

I dont drive far to work, but once i get there we drive all over ohio. We have a chevy van that had 10,000 miles on it when i started working it just turned 170,000 last week. We have 5 trucks but there all not in use every day though.
