    There's not enough room to park everyone's POV, so they provide bus transportation for hourly employees and salaried employees can choose between the bus or a truck/van. Most salaried, myself include, take the second option to get a jump start on the day.

    That's cool.....hourly employes where I work aren't allowed to park inside the gates, we have to park in 2 lots outside the plants and walk through the scanners....and then walk a good ways, which isn't to bad it gives me exercise lol

    used to be about 2 miles 1 way but we moved out of town. now it's about 20 miles 1 way. its not too bad though. traffic sucks but it isn't bad unless there is a wreck. then a 30 min commute turns in to hour or so easy.

    26 miles one way. I like it since I have a motorcycle! Gives me a chance to ride some back roads. Funny how my 26 mile trip home usually ends up being about 40.

    Right about 20 miles, but they are easy miles. I would take 20 miles across country over 5 miles across town.

    I don't think I count either but will throw my commute in the mix. The job I just left, I would get on a plane and fly from PA to ND, work 4 weeks then return home for 2. My new position I will get in the truck and drive about 400 miles in Ohio, work 2 weeks then return 400 miles home for 2 weeks off.

    My commute changes on a regular basis as we finish jobs and start new ones. Closest Ive been was about 10 miles farthest (when I wasn't living out of a suitcase) was about 60.

    I ride my bike most days.

    I don't know how you guys do the long commutes.

    I've had commutes anywhere from 1 mile to 37 miles. Depending where I end up next spring it could be 1 mile to 60 miles (can't live on Indian Reservations so depending on my location, it can be quite the commute to the hospitals)...
