    I’ve got 50 min commute but I’m on a 3/2 so it’s not bad. When I was extraboard our TM let me stay in the hotel when I covered a 600 mile turn.

    I used to commute 90 miles each way. It was still worth it to have a career instead of an OTR job.

    I drive 10 minutes to the yard, home daily and declined to buy another property because the commute would have been 20 minutes. An hour is quite a bit of time but lots do it in larger cities.

    With US Foods, sometimes they will consider a drop lot to be a standalone location and sometimes it’s considered part of the nearest full warehouse, and you can just bid on a route at the drop lot once you finish training (assuming there is an open route there). So if you don’t see any job postings in town, you could just apply to the next nearest location and ask about it when you get called.
