Not so bad if you can share the journeys. I wouldn't mind doing it if I could drive one direction and sleep in the other.
Still seems a bit stupid to commute nearly 4,000 miles at your own expense when the company is laying on accommodation for you. ecsrobin said:
I'm confused, So you live 2+ hours away from the site, work has provided accommodation within walking distance and your complaining as you'd rafther do a 4 hour round trip everyday?
I'd take the lie in walk to the site via a cafe for breakfast. Do the work go back to a bar and have a drink. And start the day refreshed everyday. Commute home Friday evening and back to work Monday morning although if your leaving at 6am I'd probably just head over late Sunday night.
This... this all over. Your employer tries to be nice and give you a place to stay to save YOU time and yet you complain on PH about it. Feck that, enjoy the time on expenses and have a lie in.

But for an employer to offer is not a normal situation and I would grab it open arms, they are just saying sleep over and be fresh for the days work rather than being grumpy and tired from the commute.
