DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Yea at 7-20 dollars one direction, and the single lane NTE down 183 is stopped half the time. Always feel bad for the suckers paying to sit in worse traffic.

 

not commuting to dallas but always looking for better jobs

 

My wife just went from driving Lewisville => Richardson every day to Lewisville => Allen. We paid almost $4000 in tolls last tax year, and its no longer deductible. Id give anything for her to find a job near Justin/Alliance. My Lewisville=> Grapevine isnt bad at all.

 

It's the Texas way. Lol.

 

Yes. She went from The Village to downtown Fort Worth for a little over a year, until we eventually decided buying a house was a better idea.

 

I'm still mad they added a traffic signal on my commute. Previously it was only 8 stop signs along those 3 miles.

 

These commutes you guys are talking about sound exhausting.... I live and work in the same town, so I've got a pretty sweet little drive, but I had to go up to Grapevine yesterday and got stuck trying to get back to Burleson during the rush hours... Took me 30 minutes to get up there and an hour and a half to get home. Not ok. I can't imagine doing that everyday...

 

My commute when I first moved down here was .7 of a mile. It was harsh.

 

My commute is 32 miles one way if theres a wreck that closes a lane or two it takes me close to 2 hrs.

 

I'm spoiled but my drive. I've been here for over 9 years now and it's saved me so much time and gas money. I'd have a hard time finding value in a commute like you described. I feel like I'd be blasting through all the podcasts and audio books I could find.

 

Damn. I’ve got over 20,000 miles on the truck I bought at the beginning of the year, most of which are since June. I’ll trade drive time with any of you except @TACORIDER

 

I walk two blocks to work

 

F a whole bunch of that. I can almost make it to OKC in 2 hours.

 

Mines 3.1 miles. One stop sign and four traffic lights which are generally all green or turn green shortly after stopping.

 

My wife drives North Fort Worth to Allen sometimes. Takes an hour and a half on weekdays, with toll.

 

I think I'd need to keep an empty bottle in my truck if my commute was that long... That or a hose out the door...

 

Potted shrub in the bed.

 

I commute back and forth from sherman to dallas every day it sux
