Day trips sound great on paper. I get it. But the reality is, unless you have super easy premo trips and live 5-10 mins from the airport, it really isn’t. It’s a glorified “overnight” at home.
If you think having 18-19 off a month, but having to work a few 4 days a month sucks for me, I don’t know what to tell you lol. My QOL is exponentially improved verses “bEiNg hOmE EvErYnIgHt” 🤷🏻♂️
I haven’t had the pleasure of doing all day trips but this is where my head is at with them. I think if you can get fat credit day trips and have a day off in between working 11 days a month they would be nice. But if you’re out here doing 11-12 hr duty/min daily credit 4 leggers consecutive days in a row every week with just enough time to scrub your balls proper in between……it’s absolutely not worth it.
