how long is your daily driving commute?

[FINFAN]

Just curious how far people go when driving...taking the train doesn't count...only the time/distance by car.
DH is job hunting as always and I am beginning to think we are spoiled by his 40 minute range (each way)

 

[Mr.BsMom]

25 minutes, each way.... Not too bad, I think!

 

[treesinger]

about 35 each way, not counting the ever-needed stop for coffee or groceries.

<font color=navy>About a half hour each way.

There are people who work at the same place I do and they have a 2-hour commute

 

[mathboy]

1 hour 20 mins each way --- about 80 miles

DH is checking out an opportunity but the neighborhood we like and the company are 75 minutes away drom each other and we are wonderiing if it is worth it. How do you guys do it? I am worried he will fall asleep, the wear/tear on the car..not to mention gas prices but to be in an area closer to the job is like night and day from where we live now...I just don't think we would be happy there. I guess if all the pieces don't fall into place you keep searching.
Why are your commutes so long....same reason or is traffic just that nasty?
We are really laboring over this decision.

My commute is only 20 minutes at the most. I don't know how others do those long commutes.

About 35/40 minutes for me during the week. Weekends make it in about 25/30 minutes.

It takes me about 6-7 minutes to drive to work. It takes DH about 45 minutes though.

Takes me about 5 minutes....I couuld never be a commuter, would drive me nuts to be in traffic or the train with all those people every day! I leave the house at 750 and am home by 355.

Right now, 10 minutes each way, although there is a rumor that we might be moving to Manhatten,(the job that is,not me ). If that happens, then my commute will be about 45 minutes. Im lucky that I work "off" hours (7PM-7AM), so that when everyone is going to work ,Im coming home . Karen

It takes me just under 15 minutes to get to the AK cast parking lot The walk from there to my backstage area, however, takes another 10-15

I've had jobs in the past where I had to battle traffic and it drove me crazy!!

 

[rasnlms]

About 45 min each way for me. DH takes the train - just over 1 hour - but he sleeps most on the time.

 

[helenabear]

Takes me about 15-20 minutes... all in town driving and only 9 miles. DH drives about as long but a bit further (but his is mostly all highway)

 

[newholiday]

4mins ea way

When I changed jobs over 5.5yrs ago I took a 33% cut in pay to be closer to home

 

[ASFCurly]

7 to 8 minutes, around holidays maybe 15

 

[Kitty 34]

It takes me 3 minutes to get to the school. DH drives 35 minutes each way to his job.

 

[browneyes]

When I take the kids to school, it takes me about 1/2 an hour. When I don't take them to school, it takes me about 20 minutes.

 

[WDWLVR]

10 minutes max. I love being close to home as I can run home at lunch if needed. Used to do it a lot more. Now I just bring my lunch and cruise the net during my lunch hour.

Forty-five minutes if traffic isn't bad. If there are accidents or slow traffic, which seems to happen at least twice a week, then anywhere from one to two hours.
