8 miles 5 days a week. Wife drives 45 miles to work each way, and another 10 miles to school . I think I change her oil every three or four weeks or so, like today for example.

Depends
When I work from Hill AFB it's 78 miles 1 way...IF I have to work from the Guard base it's 112 one way. Up at 0345 out the door at 0415 and "official" start to the day is 0600. 
Quitting time is supposed to be 1630 and we work 4-10's and one weekend a month. 
My job usually runs a lot more hours and days than that though. 
I've been doing this for going on 3 years now and I really like it. Before that I was an electronics technician and just drove the 78 miles everyday. Liked my work so it made it worth it.

63.5 miles one way from my door to the door of our head office. I go there most of the time.
When I'm working on a jod site, then you never know. I have driven 2 hours & forty five minute once to get to a job from home. Never clocked it to see what the miles were.

This summer I am gonna have a job about 45-50 miles each way from my house. Luckily as I go south everyone else is going north towards DC. and its the opposite when I go home at night. Can't wait to start.
