[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1950353, member: 43436"] Two years ago I pulled triples daily during the last 2.5 weeks: Preload started daily at 12:00AM and I'd clock out anywhere from 8:30AM-10:30AM. I driver helped & my meet point was a 5-minute drive from the building in a shopping center with a Planet Fitness, where I'd take a shower and sleep in the Hydromassage, typically for 60 minutes (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter; sometimes I'd get no nap or shower at all). The driver I worked with was anal about dropping me off at 4PM (pick-ups at 5, must take lunch at 4, even with resis left). So I'd take another 30-45 minute nap in the hydromassage :) then work local sort, typically from 5PM until 9:30PM-10:30PM, sometimes a bit later. I slept whatever I could in a conference room. (Also worth mentioning that I took naps whenever I could, such as a few minutes on break or while awaiting trailers). I remember the last full week I worked a pair of shifts on a Saturday, bringing my weekly total to just over 110. I was suppose to work a Sunday shift, and the district manager (!) left me a voicemail thanking me for my hard but instructing me not to come in. Nothing else was ever said about my hours. In the last 2.5 weeks of peak, I grossed over $7,000 -- my total for the year was slightly under $31,000, meaning I made over 20% of my annual pay in just 2.5 weeks. That said, the experience is regrettable. I felt like crap. I treated my body like crap: I went through a couple bottles of caffeine pills, drink a 12-pack of (diet) caffeinated soda per day, etc. It took a few months before I felt right again. [/QUOTE]
