1.5 hour drive each day. Spent listening to audio books and or phoning family

Monday + Tuesday 10 hour day (including 1 hour of training at lunchtime).
Wednesday + Thursday 8 hour day (including 1 hour of training at lunch).
Friday 9 hour day (including an hour of training at lunch).

Works for me!

15 minute each way commute, but I lift share with a fellow contractor who lives nearby so only have to drive every other day as well. Contract is for a PWD but ends up being between 7-8 hours when you factor in lunch + coffee breaks

I''ll be sad to see this one end - will be there 12 months come end of the year but client have a reputation for not keeping contractors around long-term so I'm not holding my breath for more extensions.

I'm not someone for long commutes, a mate of mine is contracting about 75 mins drive each way and hates the fact that I'm home and had dinner by the time he gets in. Life's too short to spend it all working, or worse still, driving!

30 min commute

Two minute walk from bed, and anything from ~4-10+ hrs depending on what is happening and what I can be arsed with on any given working day.

WRT this thread (given the previous thread) I may have the biggest willy, but after a week at work it's no use to anyone

6 hours per day commute, 9 to 5 at my desk. No break for lunch as work through it due to feeling guilty leaving at 5 o'clock on the dot.

Oh well, life is for others

Roughly an hour each way, though only because I leave home at 7am and ClientCorp at 4pm - shift those times later by thirty minutes and it adds an hour or more to the total travel time, due to hitting the rush hour at both ends, twice
