"Mike" was on the road 3 1/2 hours every day. As a "lead" he likely was the first one on site and possibly the last one to go. Say he only had to put in 8 hrs/day, from 8-5 (I never had a paid lunch hour); he'd probably have to leave the house about 6 a.m. and get home 6:45-7 p.m. only to grab some supper and collapse in front of the T.V.... right? Who's going to run around with the family unit after a full day of work AND almost four hours of mind-numbing driving? I'd suggest finding another way. There must have been several co-workers in the same bind- rideshare? Would there be a cheap sleeping room available near the work site for use during the weekdays? Change jobs- he did, but did he start looking right away or drone away at the old job for 1 year 5 months before deciding enough was enough?
