4, 10’s Rotating Weekends

[Red89]

I work 4-10s. Maintenance schedule is Thursday to Sunday. Having 3 days off , potentially 4 on holiday , is nice. My daughter is too young for school so I get spend lots of time with her. Hunting during the week is the best.

About to start a 9/80 schedule with an aerospace/defense company. This will be the first time I’ve had a schedule like this can’t wait for the time it frees up every other weekend.

Working on the railroad I'll do bad things in a dark alley for 4-10's. Usually through spring and hunting season I'm on 4-10's with Friday-Sunday off. It sure makes it easy to save my vacation days for hunting. Then it's no big deal to take off on a Thursday to hunt friday and saturday. Then spend sunday with Jesus and Family.

What about 10-4’s?

If you have a family, that’s tough, if you’re single it could be cool.

I worked 4/10's for the last 10 years of my career.
When they made us go back to 5/8's I retired.
Thats how good it was.

I do 2 days on, 2 off, 2 nights, 2 off, 2 days etc. 12hr days
Id kill for 4x 10s, hell id even do 4x 12s.

Night Shift sucks the big one and the sooner I boot it, the happier and healthier I'll be.

As others have said, definitely depends on your family situation.
If the $$ is good, its so much easier to get stuff done when everyone else is at work and youre just free to do your sh!t

Absolute worst work schedule I've ever heard. This WILL shorten your life.

I work 4 tens with a similar schedule except every weekend off. I work Monday through Thursday then Tuesday through Friday. Every other weekend I have 4 days off. It’s great especially compared to my previous schedule which was 12s, with every other weekend off.

It has its pros and cons, but im absolutely over night shift.
Problem is the $$ is very hard to pass up, 100k+ as a forklift driver for working 6 months of the year.
