Is a 20 minute commute good?
Just how bad is a commute on job satisfaction? A study by the University of West England found that adding 20 minutes to your daily commute has the same negative effect on job satisfaction as receiving a 19 percent pay cut. In fact, every extra minute commuting lowered satisfaction with their job and leisure time.
Is a 30 min commute too long?
30 minutes is a short drive to work. I live in a city where one hour or one hour and a half are common driving times from home to work and from work to home. So if you drive only 30 minutes you are fortunate.
Is 40 mins a long commute?
It all depends. Lots of people drive a lot longer than that to get to work. If it’s a good job with decent pay and prospects, it’s probably worth it. If it’s a fairly OK job but the 40 minutes’ drive consists largely of sitting in heavy traffic just to travel a few miles, then it’s not so clear-cut.
Is a one hour commute worth it?
If you like the job, and the pay is good, the answer is yes. Of course if you work really long hours, your sleep may suffer. If you take public transit (bus or train) you may be able to catch a few zzzs while commuting. Anyone considering taking on a one hour commute should consider other job options closer to home.
How long does it take to drive 50 minutes to work?
I used to drive 50 minutes to work. Each way. I lived in a cool city neighborhood but worked in the soulless suburbs with their sad lunch options. That commute really weighed on me. With traffic, it could be 1-hour-and-15 minutes. Brutal. I felt my mental state fading. After five long years, I quit and finally started working near my home.
Is the 30 minute break rule for property carrying drivers?
If you are a property-carrying driver and, for some reason, the 30-minute break rule does not apply to you, just deselect the 30 minute break option under KeepTruckin app settings, and you will not be notified to take the break. The 30 minute break rule is mandatory for most property-carrying drivers.
Can You Drive after a 30 minute break?
As mentioned earlier, drivers can perform other non-driving tasks after 8 hours without taking the break. It is just that they cannot drive a vehicle after 8 hours if they haven’t taken a 30-minute break. The 30-minute break does not extend the 14-hour window.
What’s the best way to stay safe while driving?
Keep 100% of your attention on driving at all times – no multi-tasking. Don’t use your phone or any other electronic device while driving. Slow down. Speeding gives you less time to react and increases the severity of an accident. Be aware of what other drivers around you are doing, and expect the unexpected.
