I have worked 4-10's for the better part of 25 years. I love it and never get tired of it. Three day weekends are great and it is easy to throw in a day here and there and have a four day which is even better.

My son works the rotating 4-10 schedule and loves it. The long weekend is great and Monday off is a bonus...he has the lake, bay or woods all to himself.

I work a regular 4-10 schedule 5am-3pm M-T, off F-S. I wouldn't want another schedule. Just having a 3 day weekend feels a lot nicer. The extra day every other weekend would be hard to pass up.

I don't have a defined work schedule. Some weeks I knock out 40 by lunchtime on a thursday and take the rest of the week off. Some weeks I work 55 hours. Some weeks I work a few hours on saturday and sunday so I can take friday off without using PTO. Some weeks I spread my 40 out M-F. Just depends on the work load and what I have going on in my personal/family life. I'd rather have the flexibility I do now than a defined schedule. If a buddy calls me at 10 am and says "lets go fishing this afternoon" all I need to do is drop an email to my boss saying i'm taking the afternoon off.

I interviewed for a job today. Long story short it’s 4,10’s straight days, it’s maintenance so most of the work is done on weekends but every other weekend you get fri,sat, sun, mon off. I haven’t been offered anything, I’m considering at this point. It’s only a couple miles from home which is better than the 30 miles each way I have now. Does anyone work a schedule like that? Seems like you could get a lot of cool stuff done on the long weekend.

As nice as 4-10's are, not driving 30 miles each way will give you back a couple hours a day.

I've worked 4-10's for 15 years. The extra day feels like your weekend is doubled.
