    I prefer to run shorter days than to take a day off every week. Doesn't mean it always works out that way. As others have said, you run what you get dispatched. But I'm a person who needs lots of sleep and I can easily spend my entire ten hour break in bed. Doesn't leave any time for anything else if I work 11-14 hour days.

    That doesn't mean it's better to run 7 days/week. It's just what I personally prefer. I like to have time to go out and play more than just once a week.

    well your thinking kind of the right way.If this was a perfect world with pay to go with it then you would do 8.75 hrs a day without ever doing a 34 reset.But it dont work that way so stay on top of ur hrs and learn to recap very well.As for the pay i can't help u there.Do run permit loads?If so winter will help u with ur hrs (u'll see)
