re: Anybody here commute 45-60 miles each way for work?

I think it depends on the route/amount of traffic on a commute. I drove from Metairie to Thibodaux round trip daily for awhile and it wasn't that bad. I like driving Hwy 90 and looking at the cane fields and swamps along the way.

I drive ALOT and IMO, an hour of going 75mph is much easier than 20 minutes going 10mph.

I drive 102 round trip for work. They pay for my fuel so I don't mind.

I drive BR to Cov Mon-Thu about 65 miles each way.. takes 1 hour & beats living in a retirement community.

I've had a 90 mile commute since 2006. Did it originally for a 50% bump in pay. It's an easy drive mostly I-10. Have a wife and 3 kids at home and work in a large office so the drive is the only quiet time I have during my day!!

Personally I would much rather live in Covingtion/Mamdeville over Baton Rouge. I think most people would agree.

You'll grow up one day.

I drive about 800 miles a week on avg. Work with all the refineries and chem plants. Drove 1300 miles last week. I'm home all but about 2-3 nights a month so no big deal to me.

I have a 19 mile commute each way.

Crazy thing is it takes an average of 1 hour each way and that is leaving at 7:30am and 6pm. Hour and a half commute if I leave at 8am and 5pm.

Honestly I hate it and it sucks arse.

Two problems though, getting from brickell through downtown miami takes 15-20 minutes to travel 1-2 miles. Population density is through the roof with 30-60 floor office buildings and condos on every corner and only two ways in or out.

Second is I would have to pay at least 800 more a month and at best could only have a bay view in brickell. Vs both an ocean and intracoastal view where I live.
