10-4 is great. It’s hard during the work week, but the extra day off makes up for it.

I work nearly 12-5 on straight salary, so anyone complaining about overtime and long hours can suck it. My job is outside in the middle of winter and the height of summer. Factory work can suck, but the pay is pretty good and you don’t need a college degree.

Preach to the chior, baby!
I’d LOVE to see some of these people on the ramp at Las Vegas, tossing around 50+ Lb. bags on a 114 degree day. That’s 114 BEFORE the reflection heat from the concrete.

I worked 3 12’s, 4 Off, 4-12’s, 3 off, FOR YEARS. Same schedule most cops and firefighters work. It didn’t kill me, and I had lots of time to pass-ride across the planet.

4-10’s would have seemed like a dream, especially with the WHOLE WEEKEND OFF, every weekend! (plus, I’m SURE they still get all of the UAW paid Holidays off, as well.)
