Going to a job interview tomorrow and the job is 40 miles from my house. It takes around 40 mins to get there as its mainly motor ways to get there.

How far would you travel for a job? the main reason i am up for doing it is there is hardly any work where i live..........

Takes me 20 mins to get to work and back traffic dependant but sounds like u int got much choice if work is hard to find!! Id do it (Well now ive got a car!!)

 

Thats the problem mate, had a job 2 mins from my house but being a contractor i got layed off and not had a job in 3 weeks!! this is for a permie job so no more lay offs!!!!! (hopfully!)

 

i got at least an hours drive each way to the office, and upto 4 hours each way if on a job!

office is only 35 miles away too, but 15 mins of motorway, the rest sat in traffic lol

 

Used to do a 60 mile round trip each day for work

Then 2 companies became one in a franchise aggreement and became Northern Trains Ltd

Then I transfered to a depot 5 mins from my house, so my journey is 2 miles each way now

 

I work about 8.5 miles from my house - and it takes me about 35-40 mins to get in, and nearly as long to get home

God bless London

 

Its a split shift 6-2 and 2-10 so hopfully miss all the traffic.....

Thats if i get the job!!!!

 

I work 1 minute 45 seconds drive from home!!!! Used to be in the City which was about an hours trip from door to door.!

i drive 32 miles to work and I do do some stupid shifts, am only a team leader so might think about getting a job closer to home to save some cash

its just a pain when u do a 14hr shift and have an hours drive before u can chill/sort tea

 

I drive 60 miles each way a day (120miles in total), can take me up to 2 hours to get home if traffic is bad....

 

I only travel 10 miles each way to the current office i'm at, but to get abit ahead I used to travel 30 miles each way, 60 mile round trip every day!

 

I used to travel 22miles to work.

Now its a 10min walk.

 

i live about 10 miles and takes 50mins. but thats ona train.

if i go to the other train station (which is a 20min walk instead of a 5min walk) its actually faster as its a quick non-stop train in

gotta love london

 

I do Dunstable to Slough which is 37 miles. takes just over an hour each way but if i worked in luton (5 miles away) that would take me 45mins anyway!

But its a good job with lots of prospects so I think its worth the early mornings.

 

4 mile round trip although when i take the cossie i tend to go the very long way lol.

 

Team leaders job going on my team all you've got to put up with is the SCC pay lol


I work 2 miles from my house, did all the traveling 20 miles into and across birmingham M6/M5, wouldn't wan't to do it again unless the ŁŁ was right, if there arent any jobs your way though it doesn't sound like you've got a choice, good luck though

 

8 miles each way

Takes 15 miles depends on railway crossing

 

too ture, only seven miles for me but 45mins

 

Cheers all, will let you know how it goes.....

118 miles each way.takes 2 hours in the morning and 2 1/2 to 3 at night.but only 1h 4 mins on saturday.

 

c9sse, fook me thats some traveling! not sure if i have the best car for doing too many miles, e36 m3!

 

i dont pay the diesal or for the van i drive.i work in utility on the roads and big constuction sites.to do this work in my area i would only earn 1/3 of what i do now and i only actually work 7-8 hours.so cant complain and there is 2 of us so split the driving.

 

Fair enough mate, ive got to travel as theres just no work in Corby unless you want to work for a fiver an hour in some factory.

 

I walk, takes around 15 minutes.

 

i feel your pain - but afraid the walk to work is only around 400 yards for me!

 

Is it even worth driving 1min 45sec?

 

My new office is 7 miles from home but I used to do 27 miles each way in my RST and its killed me

Might be moving to work 40 miles to work this time.

 

I can walk it in under a minute
In 10 yrs i,ve walked twice
Fook em..... i pay my road tax

 

lazy git!

i do take a courtesy car home for lunch tho!

 

I have a 13 mile trip into Leeds every day.... takes around 30 mins to get in and around 20-25 to get home, but at 12.30 am there aint much traffic to contend with.

 

What job do you do then Sarah ?? (By the way,you'll know John Cotton's won't you ?? ... I used to work out of there!)

For me,I used to travel 65 miles,most days,but now I only have to travel about 10 feet !! LOL !! ......Yes,I work from home !
