Was doing 3 hours to and from a client out in the sticks and got paid for it, plus mileage, which was not terrible up front. But several months in, yeah. It grinds on you. I was showing up burned out and leaving a zombie, then playing catch-up over the weekends on shit I couldn't do on-site.

We ended up losing the client because we kept missing deadlines. And I ended up finding a new job that didn't have any of these crazy travel requirements.
