    Maybe I'm just used to it at this point but I love the early AM shift. I wouldn't want to start at 5 or 6 even if I had the option. Rotating days off are probably a bigger annoyance in fuel than split shifts, with many companies running 6/2 or 5/3 work weeks. Although 6/2 is probably only common in California since we have 80 hour weekly cycles with our intrastate HOS.

    #### 6/2 rotation. No way i'd do that. 6 12's is misery. And having to live in cali on top of that? No way in hell. I'd take a bullet before that.

    More power to ya. If I did 120 hours every 2 weeks I'd take home 2 grand. Maybe just a little more.

    Juice aint worth the squeeze.

    Personally I’d prefer 3-3 over 6-6, as if I get off at 3 AM it’s still dark when I get home. Whereas if I get off at 6, the sun is rising by the time I arrive at home. It’s easier for me to get to sleep if it’s still dark (I’ve worked night shift occasionally in the past).
