You cannot underestimate the commute. If perfect driving conditions is a 60 minute commute, add in accidents, rush hour, winter weather, etc
You need to make that drive during normal working hours
If you have to be at work at 5:30 am some days, you need to leave your house by 4:15am. Which means you are getting up around 3ish. Which means going to bed around 8. Can you do that? Can you flip your sleep schedule easily? Then work 12 hours and then drive an hour safely? Get home 6:30ish. Then do it again?
Realistically, at this age, with your family pretty set in its schedule, can you do this? Are you ready to miss out n family dinners? Family evenings? Is your husband willing to take on more?
It is about so much more than money. This schedule will exhaust you. No money increase is worth that.
