    I had a lead driver who wanted to work 8 & 8. Our wake/sleep schedule was continually changing.

    Another of my lead drivers chose to work 6 & 6. I am talking about the old HOS with split sleeper time. As second driver, I had midnight to 6 a.m. That was tough for me. I lasted only one year before taking a local job that also started at midnight, but I slept at home.
