    About 20 minutes or so, although I've noticed that commuters here will slow down for absolutely no reason. No cops, no accident, nothing. Its very frustrating and only happens during the rush hours.

    I'm usually at work by 7am or so though so not too bad. Work until 4 or 5, sometimes 6 or 7. Weekends off except for the occasional "please, can you run it?" on Saturdays.

    Today was a really short but well paid day today. Only worked 4 hours and made 700 dollars (gross).

    Oh wait till you get stuck in a 30 min back up, and when you get to the cause..... yeah... a cop giving a ticket 20 feet off the road. No hazzard, no danger....

    About 15 minutes one way, all highway. It's much better than when I transferred to a Chicagoland terminal for a year... that was 45 minutes each way on the tollways.

    Probably sounds worse than it is. Forty-five minute drive with the balance on the train and subway.

    Although I am starting to tire of "corporate" life.

    18 miles, 25 minutes. I work 3rds so traffic is not an issue either way.

    I'm 3 blocks away from work. I've lived here since 2009 and walk back and forth everyday. Takes me 6 minutes
