How far is your job from your house

My drive is about 9.5 miles - 20-25 minutes - each way, no - freeway travel.

As the crow flies, from about 5 mile south of KATL 7/25 to about 1/4 mile north of KATL 9L/27R. :running:

Very short drive.. Like just a few feet.. Cant bring the car in the house, so I cant drive to work. Very short walk. The garage is farther then my office..

Saves on fuel.

Rarely late for work.

Only traffic is Junior when he is stretching in the morning...

Working out of the house, like Bill.
Absolutely love it.
 
26 miles round trip. Not bad unless they are working on the roads and have the main route with lanes blocked. Then, it's a hop over to the alternate route.
 
About 10 miles one way, 35-45 minutes driving time during a "normal" rush hour (no fender-benders on the interstate).
 
Exactly 3 km (1.9 mile) which is 10 minutes cycling. I never go by car, as including parking etc., it will most probably take longer.

Depends on the day as I have to travel all over for traffic control. Tomorrow, I'll be less than 10 miles from home. Today, I was about 60 (7am show... had to get up at 5:30) Lately I've been working 80 miles away with a 7am show. Getting up at 4 am and then an hour and a half drive on rural two lanes out at the corner of No and Where.

Good thing I've got a company truck and the corresponding company gas card...

Commute

I have been off on disability for a while, but when I did drive to work it was 50 miles(80Km) each way from my farmhouse to CYWG. I worked mostly 4-4 shifts which made for long days but the 4 days off was worth the hassle. I used to actually enjoy the ride in as it was like decompression time before I hit the ground running at work. The ride home though was pure hell most days and even worse if we had blizzard conditions(Oct-Apr). Sure don't miss that.

Regards, Rob:ernae:
 
Walking distance, bout 45 minutes. On the bike (bicycle) 18 minutes-Ya, I timed it. About an hour if I take the bus. Sadly, my wife insists on driving me as she's bored since she went on disability and can't work.
 
Depends, now I work 45 min by car from my current project.
Could be 2 hours by plane, like last year, from Eindhoven (Netherlands) to Marseille (France). There I had to drive 0,5 hours single trip.
Anyways, it varies.

Bout ten minutes by bicycle or by car, doesn't really make much difference. By car I have to stop more for traffic lights, but at least I sit, keep dry, listen to music... ;)

Dang Mike!

22 miles each way for me. I don't mind the drive, its the toll fees that beat me down.

Luckily, no toll roads out in the middle of the prairie! I just gotta dodge deer, the highway patrol, (and snowbanks in the wintertime). I'm not on a 5-day schedule though which helps a lot...2 on, 2off, 3on, 2 off, 2 on, 3off for me. I escape back to the farm on many of my days off otherwise I just hang out at the apartment which is 5 miles from the plant.
That winter drive is the big reason why I snagged the apartment...
In the winter I run my sleds back and forth to work some days. If I'm feeling real ambitious, in the summer it's a short bike ride (although pedaling home after a 12hr shift is a drag some mornings!)
 
Well for me it depends, most of the time I work from a home office, I support 75-100 users via telephone and remote access, however I also have to travel to our various offices for the physical work - swapping hard drives, imaging computers, running cable etc. When I hit the road it is generally 130 miles one way for the closest location, and 300 for the largest in NS. I also have Newfoundland, but that is by air only, and not that often.

I consider myself very lucky, I get to work from home a good deal of the time, and I enjoy the travel around the Maritimes, it helps that I stay with family most of the time when on the road so it is not hotels every trip. I also have great fun grossing the gurls out by telling them I am sitting in my home office fixing their computers remotely while dressed only in my boxer shorts, and a pair of big fuzzy pink slippers...lol

There is an image no one needed...lol :)
 
Well I failed to say one thing...I do drive a company vehicle and also get paid to drive to and from work but I still don't like the long drive up there and back.
 
In winter I have a 2 mile commute which takes about 15 minutes. When snow is not a problem I had a 3 mile commute which took about 15 minutes. They are rerouting my trail, so that will increase to closer to 4 miles and a little more time.

However a bike ride over the creek and through the woods is a great stress reliever, especially after work. I do have trouble with traffic sometimes: moose always have right of way and usually move slowly. Incidentally bumper to bumper with an animal that weighs over a 1000 lbs is not recommended.
 
10-15 minutes to work and same back... just gets the car heated up.... really is a bummer in the winter... I get heat just about the time I get to work or home.. :frown:
