Just move/relocate and live 15 min from the airport. Overall, big picture, it'll make your life easier. If that is not an option - then yeah, you'll be miserable until you hold a line. If you commute coast to coast, you'll be miserable no matter what.
A lot of people do it, but SOME of those people end up building up all this anger/stress/anxiety over it and it takes away from the fun of the job.

2-hour drive is a piece of cake for reserve, if you do what a lot of guys in that position do...Locate a good place that is an hour away with WiFi, and hang-out for the day...Duty-off and dirve home. sleep in your own bed, if you get called out, go fly...once your a lineholder at PSA ( pretty damn quickly in this era ) you're set...

I do a 2.5 hour drive to domicile. Normally weekly. I also commuted for years. I'll do the drive any day. I actually drive past my home airport to avoid commuting and just drive. I haven't checked loads in a long time. Life is much less stressful. Unless you live right next to commuting A/P and its a very short flight, odds are it'll take you 3 hours at a minimum to commute on a plane.
