A 60-70 minute commute for 12 hour shifts would be the biggest negative for me. I would not do that to myself. For one thing I get sleepy driving especially after a night shift that would be unsafe. However I know many people do it.

I wonder what it would take for TBON to initiate suspension/revoking rather than acting only after these things come to light.
These are two very public examples. It makes you wonder how many others are out ...
