Man, you got that right, don't miss one second of it, now I know when the sun comes up, it's time for "bacon & eggs", your body schedule gets regular, you know at 07:15, it's time to pinch a coil, and when Peter Mansbridge comes, it's bed time.

bigugli Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I did not mind 12 hour shifts. Spent 5 years doing straight 12's, five nights a week. It was the commuting that was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centerpin_drift Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 my night shift consists of 12 hours tearing a sled up down and around blue mountain making snow, adrenaline is a key factor to staying awake. the only down time is when out gear is drying by the compressors, and in the wee hours of the morning, OFC keeps me fills the void.

SlowPoke Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I've been on nights for 137 years straight.. at least it feels that way. I don't gripe about the hours but the job is getting old. After 3,000,000 kms between London and Toronto over the years, I still can't say "I've seen it all" but I'm damn close! The hours work well for me/us. It offers more family time than a regular day gig when compared to most truck drivers. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
