How far do you drive to work?

Anyone else here have a job that requires them to travel all over?

I'm growing quite fond of travel time, give ya time to unwind after a long day and plenty of time to prepare and think about what needs to be done on the way to your destination. I usually spend an average of 2-6hrs per day in a car, and now am so use to it...not sure if I could find another job without it.

Although, getting stuck in traffic all the time is REALLY starting to get old. Coming home from the Seattle area at 4:30 in the afternoon SUCKS. If I'm in that area, heading back...I figure a good 4+ hours for a drive that normally takes 2.5hrs in smooth traffic.

how are you not late to work if you have a 1.5 hour possible delay? Do you just leave exceedingly early?

No, I just get there when I get there. I'm a Tech Rep for my company, traveling to dealers in 5 states. I don't have an office to go to, well...my office is in my home. But I make my own schedules and just let the dealers know roughly when to expect me. My boss is 3000mi back home in IA.

I like all the time I get to myself in the car. I like the constant change of the roads, customers, scenery, and different challenges at each site. I would really hate to go back to working in an office all day. I get all the benefits of being outside, but I get a heater in the winter and a/c in the summer.
