I work at BASF and there is an operator here that lives in Pascagoula, MS. He has a 2.5 hr drive one way to work each day.

Used to do 55 miles one way when I worked in Anchorage. It was about a 90 minute trip.

Hope he makes a shite ton of bank for that to not have any effect on his gas expenses. Probably cuts down a car/truck's value and lifespan in half with a commute like that.

I work at a plant in BR. I live in SW Miss. It's 68 miles each way. I do this 16 days on average a month.

Hour and a half - 100 miles each way. Philly to North Jersey right outside of manhattan, but I do it by choice. On per diem and company used to pay for car and gas. We were given a one time salary adjustment to pay for it. The amount is right but now it's taxed which sucks. I just drive my wife's accord to make up for it and plan on keeping it longer than I would have. I work for a company that manages construction projects, so no point in moving. Next one could be a lot closer to home.

Bueche to Broussard. 1:10-1:20 commute each way every day. Think it's about 140-150 miles round trip.

I might have the shortest...my desk is about 6 foot from the foot of my bed.

Went to school with a girl that became a missionary in Thailand or Cambodia (cant remember which one) but she would catch a flight to Atlanta where she worked as a flight attendant for Delta

I had Baton Rouge to Houma for about 6 months.

I worked in Lafayette but lived off of the Highland exit. 72 miles. One way. While the I-10 construction was going on in Baton Rouge.
Never.
fricking.
Again.

The last 26 years of my career I had a 180 mile round-trip commute (Wanted to raise our family in a place with low crime-good schools-affordable).
To avoid sitting in Bay Area traffic for hours I'd start my day at 3AM and end it at 10PM when I went to bed, plus I was on call 24/7, 3 weeks out of each month. Lived on 5 hours or less sleep for all those years. Within a week of retiring and not having to make that commute, my mental and physical health improved 100 fold...

God man, that sounds terrible. I don't think I'm mentally strong enough to handle that long of a commute and that little sleep for 26 years.

About 25 hours flying. One way.

Prairieville to Chalmette, about 80 miles
Posted on 2/16/14 at 11:16 am to theantiquetiger
I personally knew a guy who lived in Wilmington, Delaware and worked in downtown DC. He said it wasn't as bad as it sounded b/c he took the train all the way and slept the entire way. Still, it's a little over 100 miles and about two hours door to door each way. Four hours on a fricking train every day is no way to live even if you do sleep most of the way.

My commute is 220 miles (round trip). Right at two hours each way.
