Yes, I've seen Booth transport advertising, I think the jobs there are for interstate drivers mostly where you may be out for a week at a time.

What removal company do you work for? I worked on removals for 7 years and they were the best years of my life. What pleasure I got.

We live just off Northeast Rd 8 km from the city and during rush hour it takes me about 20 minutes to get to North Adelaide. Add another 5-10 to get into the CBD. If there is an accident on your main way in (the freeway or South Rd) then you can add quite a bit more to your time.
As for the roads being busy, it really depends on where you come from. We moved here from Toronto area and found the traffic to be very light. The infastructure is very poor by comparison, but there are far less people here than where we came from so less traffic.
