One period when I was doing it, was when I lived in South Minneapolis and was partying hard every night, I could work Friday and Saturday nights only and still make enough to live on while being able to party every day of the week and after midnight on those two nights that I worked,it was almost like not working at all.
I was one of the day shift folks. I did the 11-7 shift, though my boss would have me on often to ‘smooth’ out the shift change.
I got endless complaints from the night shift drivers that I was ‘cutting into’ their business. So one day my boss told all of us to leave early, at 4, when the night shift came on. They were killed, and I got called at 9pm that night to come on for one delivery, a beer run. I think I made 30 bucks on that tip, so it was worth the time to drive in and prove a point.
But they got me eventually. I booked out to take a nap in the afternoon when it was slow, but dispatch didn’t hear me and I crashed before dispatch responded. None of the other drivers bothered to inform my boss that I had booked out or where I was. Found out later that my boss fielded complaints pretty much every day. He decided to let me go to keep the rest of his staff, and his wife was very disappointed. I left and I haven’t driven since.
