Hi,
Are there any SWT Drivers on here who would be able to give me an example of the shift pattern that they work please?
The only information that I can find is that it is a mixture of earlies, mid's and lates and that there are some 4am starts and 3am finishes which is all fine. I am just curious to know what some example weeks would look like, are the days off all together or any separately, how many weekends or part weekends off per couple of months etc etc.
Also, do Drivers think that the 4 day week will be a big improvement from the 4 and a bit day week or that it is better to spread the hours over that extra part day?
Sorry to be so questioning, it's just that it's a job I really want and although I have done shift work in the past for many years I think it's all to easy to forget what it's like as soon as you're away from it.
Just want to make doubly sure I am making the right decision.
Your thoughts would be highly appreciated....
Many thanks
