@Mindful There’s a 2 hour commute time that’s expected as a normal part of the job requirement. Any commute that doesn’t involve Boston traffic that takes more than 2 hours and 5 minutes to get to in the early morning becomes a stay away job and we get put up in a cost effective hotel as near to the jobsite as possible. We also get a per diem stipend on those jobs.
I do prefer being home every night much more.
The Maine job was every week for 4 months. We were there so long that waitresses, bartenders, and door men knew us by name and we did get some VIP treatment in the places we frequented.
