It seems to me that the recruiter was making a judgment call and decided
that "x" miles was too far for me to drive on a daily basis.  Sometime these
recruiters qualify their decision not to submit me with "The client needs
someone on-site every day".

What irks me is when I point out that I made similar commutes in the past
with no problems.  I guess I just don't like to be what my best interest is.
If I say that a 50 mile trip to and from work is not a problem, then that
should be the end of it.
