    Mine is about 13-16.5 miles each way, depending on which route I take.


    Thank you

    those 30 miles are country roads, no freeway sardine can in fish of shit.

    About 7 or 8 miles but it still takes about half an hour or more with traffic. I start a new job next week that will be 20 miles away but it will be mostly country roads so will take the same amount of time as my current commute.

    About 15 miles. Takes about 25-30 minutes because it's a major shopping center.

    From my bedroom to the other side of my house, the coffee pot is on the way or in my sunroom off my bedroom, depending on when I finally get out of bed and which way I point myself then. I do about a drive or two a day for my business but I have quiet roads and I pick the hours between rush hour timings. It's about a ten or twenty min drive usually unless I go do some other stuff while I am out. Tomorrow I am gonna go pay off my car and pick up some groceries so will have to drive a bit more then usual across the main highway to the car dealership.
    I like peeps to bring the work to me too. Tis why I chose to work at home, I hate going to some other place for 8 hours a day now especially because I don't have to.
    I used to drive about 15k which took about a half hour with traffic to work on machines, loved it but this is much better, no more coveralls, tools and steal toed boots.
    BF works a lot like you BBAD, driving for parts.

    Between 115km - 300+km. I don't have a workplace, the road is my workplace. Wherever the deliveries take me.

    Wow, that's some driving.

    When I worked in the mountains it was over an hour from town unless I lived in the small community near the work site. Then it was a short drive or a long walk upward to work and long walk downward after. My first few walks gave me shin splints really bad, then I got used to it.

    I'd say I average about 150km - 200km a day. But then like yesterday I copped a job at 1530 to drop 26 boxes of wine to a town over an hour away. Not sure about the distance it was but an hour is about 100km if I'm doing 100kmh. So that was 200ish plus whatever I'd done before that. I usually write it all down and add it up but I forgot this time.

    ~60" from my bed to the comfy chair at my computer desk.

    of course i use the term 'work' somewhat euphemistically.
    but this is where i create my images.

    I thought about driving semi years ago just for the adventurous part of it then I reconsidered when someone said to me, "ever seen a trucker's ass after they been on the road a few years?" ha! That's one reason I never wanted a desk job either, didn't want to get the secretarial cheek spread. Butt,,, seriously,,,
    I could never sit in one place long so I needed jobs that let me move around and find my own pace. That's why working on machines was one of my favorite jobs, might be under it, on top or in it but I loved finding out I needed a tool from the shop that wasn't with me, meant a much needed walk to the other side of a hugh building or snatching a fork lift for a spin.
    I could never do a store clerk or food server job either, too much pounding on the feet kind of work for me.

    It's a trip that takes in two Motorways and a couple of Main roads over a canal, a rail way and 'Metro-link' (tram) line (so can't 'bike' it), and so which takes in the car about 15 minutes (9 miles) (-ish), although Public transport would make it distance longer and take; in time, about a hour and 30 minutes = doh with a capital D!

    If I go to the office (which I do about 90%) of the time its a 20 minute 8 mile commute, no freeways.

    Other 10% of time is work from home. Love the commute and the dresscode (or lack thereof) but miss the social interation.

    My trip to school takes about 20 minutes on my bike, 6 or 7 by car, and 15-20 if I take the bus. My wife works on the way, so we usually ride in together in the mornings.
