    I've lived in S. Ca. most of my life so driving long distance to get to work is "normal". An hour one way pretty normal. I've driven 45 min to work, get my truck and then drive hour and half to job site BEFORE i'm on the clock. (dirt work) And that's leaving the yard getting onto 91 fwy in Corona at 4 AM. Me and 150,000 other commuters ! There are fools around here who commute 2 hrs one way. I knew a guy who commuted from San Diego to L.A. daily to get to work. Palmdale into L.A. or Victorville into L.A. ! Temecula into San Diego ! I did Hemet into San Marcos for 4 years. 59 mi, hour and 5 min.

    Transferring to a hub so I can eventually get on a day run. My 6 miles will turn into 36. But I feel it will be worth it in the long run. Plus the 1.50 on the hourly and 3 cents on the mileage raise will make up for the tank of gas a week I’ll be using.

    R&L seems to show some interest in me but they are 39 miles 46 min drive from my house. Thoughts anyone?

    They don’t pay OT after 40 hours. Considering the commute, I wouldn’t take it.

    I know people who commute longer...but those people are making $400+ per day.

    If you really like the job and think the pay and benefits will be a step up from what you have now, then go for it. If you think it will be more of a lateral move, then maybe it’s not worth it.

    Great advice! Fedex Freight is 30 min away and I'm waiting to hear back something from them about a P&D position.

    I’m a little lucky I live in rural Florida right off the highway.

    I have every barn within a 5mile radius except old dominion and south eastern. South eastern is in the neighboring city, and for some reason old dominion is located in the rich neighborhood in the middle of nowhere; not even remotely close to i75
