For what it’s worth I have the same drive without traffic. 55 Miles, 1.5 hours was standard with rush hour. So I would always bid for RAP 1 (begins at 4am). If I got a 2hr call it was right at 4am and I had no traffic.
I’d drive a little closer to the airport during rush hour, and get breakfast then go home.
If traffic was worse than usual then that’s the way life is. I figured I could explain that there was an accident or whatever that made the drive longer.
In LA you could littleraly be sitting in Marina Del Ray, 20 minutes away and not make 2hrs if there was rush hour and an accident.
I just tried to be reasonable. Ready to go if they called, car packed.
Don’t beat yourself up over it.
