How Far Is Your Commute To Work?

5.5 miles, 10 mins. 6 if i close my eyes at 2 of the lights...

 

A hour or more. When I was local, it was a hour to work. 14 hours on shift and almost 2 hours drive home with traffic. Had less than 10 hours when I got home. Sucked, hell I got more free time doing otr than local

Now with otr, my truck is less than a minute away. Once I finish pretrip , I start to get paid by the mile

 

I've never had a job that wasn't at least a 45 minute drive one-way. Would be nice for a change to get off work and be home in 10 minutes...

 

I live <5 miles from the Ryder yard that my truck is parked at. Takes me about 7 min to get there. My shift lasts between 7.5 and 9.5 hours depending on which customers I have to service on a given night. That gives me about 14-16 hours off each day and every weekend off. It's a gravy gig and I'm very grateful to have it.

 

5-6 minutes each way. Sometimes eight minutes if a Swifty cuts me off as I get close to passing the local truck stop that sits along my route.

 

About 15 minutes. It's about 6 miles each way. 5 days a week. 60 hours. Sometimes 65.

 

26 miles each way. Before I moved it was 35. Im a yard dog doing 3rd shift, so no traffic.

 

2.5 Hours one-way.
