Am doing a 75 miles each way commute, on a long haul operator out of LGW, via M25, M23. On a good day its 1hr 15, worst so far 2hrs 40. So i have to leave some buffer time wise. Get an EV, its cheap as chips, with home charging. I can do 2x runs on one home charge. Plus in winter ya can put the heating on, before you arrive into a frozen igloo car in the car park. (Tesla anyhow). For a short haul operator, charter or scheduled, then forget it. Get a crash pad, where you would operate from. Am fine with what am doing.
