1st shift to 3rd shift

Me personal I. Think I go from 1st to 2nd to 3rd about a 1000 times a week.

 

I always work just one shift. I start at around 5am and park by 7-9pm. I do my 14 in the US and my 16 in Canada.

 

See...that's the problem with you International types...trying to get 30 hours in a 24 hour day!!!!

 

I think us OTR guys are having trouble being serious with this thread!

 

Whatever do you mean?

 

I basically run the same schedule everyday.

Places I deliver are only open 8 to 5 most of the time.

 

I think Dover was in the wrong forum.

Yo Dover, come back and explain yoself.

 

It really depends on personal preference. If you are into the 9-5 set schedual doing the same thing over and over again, you will naturally migrate to a set run, dedicated route. Its a set route which you will almost never deviate from. If you like day shifts you will naturally do all you can to run during the day. A lot of company drivers, expediter drivers ets, are constantly changing there shifts. I love it when I change shifts which does happen a few times a week, usually corresponding with pickups or deliveries breaks up monotony and lets me experience everything, but I have always preferred graveyard shift and most of the time can adjust my run, so I am on graveyard. About 10 at night to about 10 the next day. I love running this shift for several reasons. Less traffic, the few psychos are easily spotted being they are not in a crowd of traffic. Always lots of parking in the premo spots not the brutal crammed up ones that are a bear to back a rig into. Lots of open clean showers. You dont have all the pushing and shoving with the other big rigs ets. ets. I also like it because it maximizes my rollover or recap hours the best. I never take 34 restarts just work on my recaps. Recap hours come on at midnight whatever time zone you work off. So you get and early start on recap hours. I can usually park close to my destination in the morning previous to delivery or pickup then as soon as I pickup and deliver I have a full clock to run.

 

So what? Is there something wrong with 2nd shift? You know...sometimes you just can't please anyone!

 

no: he didn't ask about 2nd shift only first & third
