I work basically the same hours. It's a little tough at first getting use to the hours at first, but your body will adjust.I think 815 pm thru 530 am or so, mon - fri.

Fabulous hours. Once you get used to the vampire sleep schedule you'll be in like flint. You will be able to do things during the week that you would currently have to do by burning a personal day or by playing "catch-up" on the weekend. Also your commute to and from work should be easier since you wont be dealing with rush hour traffic.I think 815 pm thru 530 am or so, mon - fri.
Thats just about the best start time ever right there, if you can adjust to the day sleeping you might just find you love it...

They will tell you not to back with a trailer and a dolly, but there are times when it would come in handy. Shagging trailers on an off ramp on a grade in a snow storm, etc.Just an update. I won the bid and did the 40 non-productive training. I then did 40 hours with a supervisor riding with me on the route I run. I have now done 4 days on my own. I was pretty nervous at first, but I am getting more comfortable each day. I still have a hard time setting up doubles, with backing the first trailer onto the dolly then to the rear. The dolly is a pain to back, and I can't even begin to back a trailer with a dolly yet. I'm sure it will get easier with time and experience. I try to set up the doubles quickly, because I usually have the hub area blocked when I am trying to do this. It usually isn't pretty, but I get it done. I check, double check, then triple check my connections before leaving the hub. I love it so far, and have no regrets I bid on the job. I'm getting used to the hours, and take melatonin before I go to sleep, and sleep like a baby. I got paid my 40 hours training on this paycheck, so all is good. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
They are frowning in drivers backing dollies with the front box in SC. We had two drivers put the fifth wheel of the dolly thru the front of the back box in 2 weeks. The way the fifth wheel is designed, it will hook over the edge of the metal, and won't come out. A wrecker has to come and lift the dolly out of the trailer.
