    I don't mind burning out my 70 hours in several days. I think 4 total just about takes care of it solo.

    That means I can either go home and carouse or I can sit wherever I'm at and carouse two days, leaving one to recover.

    That would be a good job for one of the twin cities guys here.

    I’d jump on it but I’m super happy with my job actually. I’m a teamster too but on the highway heavy side.
     
    Dennixx Thanks this.

    Food service is often a four day well I but it's not often four straight days until you gain seniority.

    Is food service as hard as people say it is?

    If you're willing to work for crapola hourly; like 13 and hour, then you could be doing 4 on 3 off by next payday with very little searching.. I'm a rookie compared to a lot of people here and I accidentally ended up doing it for a short term so I could be home every night..

    The big union companies and Old Dominion are the only ones I know of that do 4 on 3 off and actually pay well.. At least they did; YRC last I checked was begging drivers off the street..

    I work 4 days a week. Once in awhile I may work 5. As long as I get my route done by Thursday, than I get 3 days off. I work haz mat for now. I make just short of $20 and I'm a rookie.

    I’m gonna work 3 or 4 days this week but still get my hours.

    We worked 15 hours Monday and 15 yesterday and took today and tomorrow off.

    Then we’ll work Friday and maybe 5 hours Saturday and get that milk money.

    I get ot after 10 and Saturday so I’d rather work long ### days and every other day if I could.
