3 hrs for 400 cases? There isn't anything wrong with that 133 cases per hour, and you have to dig for it, I wouldn't be ashamed of that!
Here it is almost 2300 my time, I went to bed at 2100, got to get up at 0200, I have given up for the night, got very little sleep last night, I don't know whats wrong with me, I can't get my brain to stop, its getting tough to deal with. I have a 14 hr day tomorrow to boot.
I had a 14 hour day today I think, I don't know usually once I hit 14 hours at work my cognition starts to go. I wrote down the wrong clock out time not on purpose, but because I wasn't thinking straight when I got back to the office to do my paper work. Speaking of which it's 20:24est the day transit trucks are returning to the yard if I was on a skip day route I could skip down to the yard hop in my truck and take off for my first stop ha-ha!3 hrs for 400 cases?

I guess I am the opposite of you. I started my career working days for many years, 8 am start mon-Friday (Bankers hours). Then went to a dispatch from 3-7 am for many years which I eventually got used to. Then due to a plant closure and new job I went to night work for the first time in my life. Starting anywhere from 8-11 pm working 12-14 hours. For the first few months I was exhausted when I hit the sheets, but I could not sleep. Eventually I was able to sleep descent but not like I did when I slept at night. I reluctantly made a job change after 10 years for what I hoped would be a better quality of life. I work harder now but my body isn't near as tired at the end of the week now as it was before when I was holding a steering wheel for 50-60 hours a week nightly. Now I start when ever I feel like it, but it's usually between 5 and 7 am. I am glad I made the change to day work and I can't ever go back to nights since I am lucky to be awake at 10 pm. Stay safe out there at night!I get more sleep running night linehaul then I did doing early morning foodservice 0200-0400. I used to average 4-5 hrs of sleep at foodservice. Now I sleep pretty well 6-9 hrs during the day as long as my room stays cool in the summer. I've been a night person since after the military. Job after the military didn't have me come in til 10-11am so I'd stay up til 1am on work nights and later on days off for 7 yrs. I was in my 20's. Then went to foodservice and couldn't adapt to the early shift. Was pretty miserable, a couple times I only slept 1-2 hrs. A lot of the drivers there that been there for awhile average 3-4hrs a night cause of trying to spend time with family. Think night linehaul works for me. I get plenty of sleep and sleep pretty well. But it's just me. Drivers with families even in linehaul usually struggle with sleep balance.
We run 2 shuttles a day set for the skip days and a night set for the express routes.
The transit drivers are based out of the shuttle site where I work. Now that's not to say a transit driver based out of the warehouse doesn't run a set down from time to time, but mostly based out of the shuttle site.Do you have transit drivers based out of the the shuttle sites or are they all based out of the warehouse?
