About 1 mile to pick up the bus. I?d like to walk it, but the highway at 6:30 in the morning is not a safe walk.
I?ve been lucky. Never drove more than 12 miles to work in the 35 years at my job.
I feel for folks who have long drives to work.0 -
During my 32 years with the insane asylum I worked at I drove 14 miles . Post retirement up until about two years ago , my job installing agricultural equipment , took me thru most of a 20 county area. Some days a 5 mile ride and others it might a 100 mile ride now almost retired again the gun shop is about 12 miles away . 0 -

early on 14 years I drove 45 to 55 miles each way have never missed that drive time .
then my last and retired job ( 25.5 years ) it was about 18 miles one way about 20-25 minute drive all back roads doing normal speed limits ( but a few getting up late days it was a 10 minute drive )
last 5 years Zero miles to work0 -
I think the amount of time the commute takes is more relevant than the distance.
25 miles one way. 30 minutes from my door to my desk.0 -
8 miles. 0 -
35 miles one way. with traffic it takes 1 hour, traffic jams on the way home have taken up to 2-1/2 hours, not unusual to stop at a store or two resulting in 4 hours before I get home. then there's these other twinks that live literally 5 minutes from work. I gotta move. 0 -

Not even one step.
These days, most of my 'work day' is around/in the house...on my schedule and take breaks as I desire.
It's relaxing but doesn't pay work a chit!0 -
60 miles, one way. About 50 minutes, depending on traffic.
I find the drive very relaxing. Easy start to the day. Up at 2:45am mon-Saturday. Drink coffee, do chores, take a shower, get in the old work rail and drive. Start work at 5:30am. Get off work at 4:30 pm. Nice relaxing drive home. Do chores. Work on the house. Take a shower, in bed around 10pm.
I live out in the boonies. Can?t stand being in a city, but I make more than double, close to triple what I could make around home.
Set the cruise, roll down windows, crank the radio, and relax my way home.0 -
8 miles against the grain of traffic so I have no issues 0 -
38 miles each way. I allow an hour and ten minutes to get to work, and it usually takes 50 minutes to get home. But, it is worth it to not live in the city. 0 -

37 miles each way. Takes me spot on 45 minutes. This since July, 2015.
When grandson born in 2012, wife started wanting to move closer to him. I held her off until 2015 until we found out we were having second grandchild. I finally relented and agreed to move. My drive went from 1 mile to the 37 miles.
Do I regret it? Only during tax season when I may be at office until 11 to midnight and then have the drive. But the drive gives me a time to wind down instead of just going the one mile to my house and winding down in the recliner.0 -
15 miles in fall and winter, 45 miles in spring and summer.
Prefer the drive in spring and summer. No freeways, lazy country roads; gets my head into work on the way in and out of work on the way home.0
