....as to how many of you fellas have lengthy commutes to work everyday. Unfortunately in order to make decent money I have a 1 hour 10 minute drive (each way) into the city each day. I would rather do the drive and live rural than be in the damn city. Luckily my boss is cool and I have flexable hours. Any you guys in a similar situation?

I use to have the rush hour 45 minute drive into B'ham every morning but now my office is 15 minutes away from home. I also have a cool boss that lets me work flexlible hrs. I usually come in at 6:15 and leave at 4:00 every day. They still get about 9 hrs from me and my work is always complete.

I used to have a 1 hour drive. Then we moved out into the country and now I only have 30 minutes. I really do enjoy that time too. It gives me time to forget about work before I get home to the wife. And it lets me drink some coffee and collect my thoughts before the day starts. That 1 hour drive was a killer though!!!

Welp, I will be drivin' in the area of an hour each way here startin' tomorrow. Until I get a house it will be that way, but it isn't really a problem so long as the ol' vehicle keeps on truckin'.

I have a comfortable (95% interstate) 30-minute drive. I wish it were shorter, but I'm glad it's not any longer, and I get to live in my hometown where I want to be.

My only problem is that I get sleepy on the drive home some days. I don't think I'd make it on a 70 minute drive, but you gotta do what ya gotta do.

32 minutes, door to door, mostly 4 lane. I would rather do the drive and live where I want. If it got to an hour, that would be tuff.
