[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 2028657, member: 52978"] I worked nights 95% of my 29 years in feeders. Initially, it was all that was available, for sure. When I retired I was number 16 out of about 150 drivers. Coulda been working days years ago. I grew to appreciate nights. 1. I could get more stuff done during the day before I left for work (dr appts, getting my car worked on, etc.) 2. Less traffic on the road. Houston's traffic is really bad. 3. Cooler weather (Texas heat. Nuff said). 4. There seemed to me like there was more money to be made at night if you wanted to work extra. (shifting, extra leg, overflows) 5. When my kids were young, I [I]made[/I] time to see them before and after school, and I could attend stuff like t-ball, vollyball, etc. 6. Less ties hanging around the yard watching for you to do something wrong. They were walking in to work when I was walking out. lol. 7. Last but not least, My wife and I got along great as long as we worked opposite shifts. I attribute the fact that we have been married 35 years this summer to working nights. My .02. [/QUOTE]
