I currently have it pretty easy I drive about 25 miles and usually not in rush hour, going to the airport is a different story but still not like some people have it. The move we are thinking about would be an hour and 20 minute commute. Airport would be at a minimum leave home 4 hours before the flight on morning flights. But rural area on a lake.
I’ve changed jobs 7 times in my career. Commutes have ranged from a 2 minute walk to a 35 minute drive in Twin Cities traffic. Now that I’m retired, my commute is from the bedroom to the coffee pot. Sota, if you can put up with the long commute till you retire, move to the lake. JMO
13 steps when working from home. <30 minute Uber ride when at Client offices. +/-4hr flight to/from client city.
About 15 minutes to the office. Depends where in the city we've had a hail storm for the most part. Last year it was in my least favorite part of the OKC metroplex. Hopefully this year it hits my neighborhood.
I would drive over 33,000 miles per year driving to and from work, but quality of life when I get home right?
I average about 39,000 a year. It will be time for a new truck before the end of year. I'm at 157k on my 2015 Tundra.
I work from home but travel to a collection of Banks spanning 3 states. About 45k a year in mileage. Oddly not much of that happens between Oct-Dec
Currently my drive is 25 minutes one way, but a wreck on the hwy will push it to potentially 1 hr. I'm 36 and nowhere near retirement, but if I was say 5 years away from retirement, then I would not mind commuting 1hr plus if I could live on a great rural property. My wife and I passed on a 15 acre farm-type property, simply because it would be at least an hour one way for each of us to commute.
I live in the Chicago metro area. 18 miles to one office, 20 to the other. Chicagoans do not measure commutes in miles. Only time. Count on 60 minute minimum if I need to be there by 9. Usually I time it to be there at 10 that way I miss the rush both in and out. I would take a 60 mile commute that only takes an hour vs. my BS any day. But it't not my car or gas so I don't have to take that in to account.
Phone says 10 minutes with no delays. It is a gravel county road so I don't drive real fast. I can turn that 7 miles into a hour or more if I feel like glassing for deer in the morning. Love that big hill right off the road.
12 minutes to work and I take mostly back roads. I get pissed in the morning if I see headlights in the rear view mirror. It is 16 minutes on the return trip home---- only because I stop and buy a refreshing ice cold adult drink... It is 50 minutes to the airport, but I haven't traveled much in the past 10 years. Before that I was an out on Sunday back home on Friday travel guy for about 4 year. It sucks---I feel for any of you that travel that much now days..
I'm at work (if you can call it that) now. Twelve steps down to the office. My son drives about an hour to work, mostly through countryside. He worked in Chattanooga and stated he would rather drive the hour than fight traffic for a half hour. Okiebob, I called on a fellow once who had a Nissan and two Toyota trucks for his business. The newest one only had 150K, one Toyota had 250K. His secret? Maintenance! Take care of it and it will last a long time. Popular Science magazine, years ago, had an article about Yellow Cab in NYC. The Checker cabs were maintained by the book. The article had a photo of a Checker cab that had over 300K miles and still running.
18 minutes through some pretty wild country. You may see Turkey, Deer, Bear, Wolves or Bobcat. You will see at least one or more what I mentioned. So much better than when I worked in the city.
No doubt. I had a Nissan Frontier that I put close to 300k on. Change the oil regularly, tune them up every 40k and they will run forever.
I don't see how so many miles can be put on a vehicle Work drive is about 14 minutes, annual mileage is about 7k. 2014 Tacoma and I think I have 42k on the Odometer
15 minutes there in the mornings, 25 coming home in the afternoon. I avoid the morning rush but get caught in the afternoon most days.
