How far is your commute to work?

[coconutmonkey 0]

25 minutes to work with normal traffic / operations.
6 hours to work with full force protection road blocks and vehicle inspections.
30 seconds to manifest.
Reasonable compromise, eh?

I certainly think so!!! Who wants to get to work fast anyway? I like to be late and blame it on traffic....


JT!!! 30 Days huh....almost there!! Just don't slip into the trap of spending all 30 of them piss drunk and missing your flight out. I have seen it happen..... Congrats, now Korea can just be a memory that you tell funny stories about.

Yeah, well it also helps to be the boss, too.

5 minutes from work to dz.

I hate you.

Well, actually, that's not correct. I actually think you're pretty cool, but I hate MY situation compared to yours.

I live 5 miles from work, yet it takes me on a good day at least 25 minutes to get to or from work.

60 minutes door-to-door home to DZ. Those pre-dawn 4-way team days can realy suck.

appreciate you being out there in Korea for our country

I second that. And man, I wish I could ride my bike to work.

I commute about 12 miles. However, that's in LA, so it generally takes me half an hour. It sucks a lot and I'm looking to buy something a bit closer in a few months. Housing is expensive here, though.

For the DZ, my commute is nearly two hours if someone else is driving, or about an hour and a half if I'm driving. There are a lot of DZs that are an hour and a half away, but none closer. I think that has something to do with LAX airspace.

I walk 4 blocks, I hop on a water taxi, and ride down the chicago river for 10 minutes. I walk another 4 blocks.

It takes me about half an hour, and costs me $1.30.

It takes me 10-15 minutes to get to/from work. Occasionally when i work late (3:00 is late to me) i get stuck behind the fucking school bus traffic....other than that, can't really complain too much about my commute.

Nope, you were right the first time!

Because housing is so expensive it would be cost prohibitive to locate anything closer. Think about how much land you need for even a small dropzone and then think of how much that land would be worth anywhere within 30 minutes driving distance of downtown L.A.

Yeah, that sounds like a better reason. I'd move to somewhere more sensible, but I really can't stand commuting.

[SniperCJ 0]

Takes me about 3 minutes to get to work.

37 minutes door to door to the DZ (if I'm hauling...)

Live on North Shore, I'd make that commute. Over here in Paris, TX, (pronounce Paaarrruussss), 12 minutes to and 12 minutes back. Sometimes that can be increased by hitting one of the 4 traffic lights in-between, or if someone's cows get out on the highway.

It's not all bad, Paul. At least you can afford to jump once you get to the dz...

My drive time to work in the morning is @ 25 min if i get an the road before 7:00am. the drive home is @ 1 hour (freakin people... Learn how to drive...) oops sorry i blew up.

I second that :) Although, I nearly AM that too hehe

It's taking getting used to when it used to be 5 mins to work, but now it's about 30 to work and anywhere from 45 to an hour and a half home depending on how many wrecks there are. It's not bad though.

[Stacy 0]

to my office area- 10 minutes. however most of my day is spent workign out of patient's homes so driving is about 30 miles/day. to the DZ? depends which one. Florida is abundant in DZs!!

Sebastian- 1:15
Pahokee- 1:15
Miami- 2:00
Titusville- 2:30
DeLand- 3:00
Lake Wales- 2:00
Clewiston- 2:00

you get the idea....

I can't wait.

Commute to DZ: 40-45min

The basic model is only $14.97. And for a mere $20.02 more, you can upgrade to the deluxe model! Isn't that a small price to make Val happy?

Dude. I live like 45 minutes MAX from Defience. We played them in high school sports and such.

Are you ever up this way?

Where did your mom go to school? Lima Technical College? OSU-Lima? (both of these are 30 seconds from my house) or did she go somewhere else?

If you are ever up here, lemme know!!

I am pretty fortunate to have good employees that take care of things. They never call me when I leave the office for the day unless it is a dire emergency. Same goes for the weekends. I do work long hours though.

You are fortunate. Hold on to that gig. Those are rare in our industry!

Why does the fire alarm always seem to go off at 2am?

OSU-Lima. She grew up in Toledo. Know anyone named Bidlack from Defiance. Thats something like my Mom's aunt and uncle I think. They have a pretty good size farm outside Defiance. Grow lots of corn and a few head of cattle. They have our family reunion out at there farm every year. I haven't been in quite a while but my Mom and Dad usually go up there. In fact my Mom was just trying to talk me into going up there in August. I think thats around the same time as the WFFC. Hmmm....WFFC......Family reunion.......which will I go to???
