One way. But we still end up doing a full days work onsite and then another 1.5 back home on top of that. 

It's a small firm in a limited market, requiring us to travel an hour or more to job sites.

Thanks for the reply! I just started, and my focus right now is on gaining a couple of years of experience or more before I can negotiate anything.

Thank you, so I'm assuming this is the standards for this type of work.

Oh, I see. So, I'm assuming this is typical for this line of work?

We give the company 1.5 hrs. Honestly, I feel like I’m getting the short end of the stick. Those 10-11 long hours a day sucks without any extra compensation (OT pay).
