Alright beat. Been here ten years. If you are a good day sleeper this job is no problem. I'm not so it's tough doing night hub turns. But.........this is a great job. 10-12 days away from the family and they really won't see you while you're working if u don't want them to because you will be on the road.
The schedule can easily be leave monday morning, home saturday morning early afternoon. Home for 8 days, then do it again.
Lots of quality time off.
The ONLY downside of this job is the nights and you can always work days. They go senior but you can bid secondary lines and get workable schedules in no time. In addition, if you can get international trips, you will have some long legs but very long layovers at times too which will at least give you lots of time to get your sleep. The bottom line is night cargo can be tough as you know but this job is the best of the bunch and I highly recommend if you can get here.
Good luck.
