Guys, just a quick question.
Having just passed my test, and living in a quiet town as it is - there’s not a great amount of Hauliers about here. All the ads on the job centre are roughly 20+ miles from here so I was wondering how far do you travel to and from work combined, daily as a commute?

Can you not edit your post to add a poll, eg 10.20, 30. 40 etc miles daily. I know some blokes would travel 90 miles for a weeks tramping
for me I do a 60 mile round trip daily to my place of work.
68 miles round trip. 3 times a week.
2 nights out twice a week and a 1 day away trip.
Never had a failed to turn up or late for work.
Depends on rate of pay for me or at least how much I will earn a shift. But have been and will do 30 min drive so roughly 20 miles on agency and permanent. Not nice after a 15 hour shift or at 3am but as everyone in the job knows…needs must/its part of the job.
Closest job I had was 2 miles away, took 5/8 mins depending on traffic lights, was lovely getting out of bed 30 mins before shift and having time for breakfast and a wash and still being there on time 
120 mile round trip for me,although I only go to work once and back a week.
A bit pricey in a car with a V6 2.5 litre petrol engine that does less than 30 m.p.g. on a run. I couldn’t do it every day.
Am looking for something closer to home as we speak.
3 miles round trip for me so i consider myself very lucky
22 miles each way, but on fast A roads.

Yes, most of all it’s the commute that pees me off, even though I do only drive there and back once a week, it’s too far to go for a bad job.
Sixteen miles there during rush hour - half an hour.
Sixteen miles back in the dead of night - eight minutes.
House to Yard 1.7 miles, BUT am on call, so might do that 3 times a day
About 6 miles round trip per shift so I guess I’m one of the lucky ones
I am here: maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.336482,0.445900
depending where my agency sends me it can be between a 4 mile round trip or a hundred mile round trip. most of the time its a 77 miler daily to a company i work a lot for. I do however get a small amount towards fuel.
I’m another lucky one. 10 minute dawdle so about 3/4 mile. On my push bike in summer it takes 5 min there 2 min back (downhill) 
About 2 feet
8 miles round trip .
65 miles each way, only once a week thank ■■■■■ I was doing 115 miles each way not long back 
40 mile round trip, could do it in around 25 miles, but the 40 mile is all motorway, the 25 is all 30mph a roads with lots of traffic lights and speed cameras.
3 litre diesel, 25.9mpg average 
30 mile round trip daily. In the summer months I use my scooter 
20 mile round trip 5 days a week
