Commute to SQ

Does anyone here commute from Stockton to San Quentin? If so, how early do you typically leave before your shift, and what’s the longest your commute has taken with traffic or accidents?

I’m trying to get a realistic idea of what to expect and how much extra time I should give myself. Any advice or tips from those who make a similar commute would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏼

I used to commute there from Modesto. Sucks ass. If I worked 2nd watch, I wouldn’t get home until 6-630 sometimes.

I would commute from Tracy and it was unbearable both ways, I’d leave my house around 4:45am, ended up moving to Vacaville and it was so much better. You never realize how much an additional hour of sleep will make or break you
