My building has a Midnight/EAM combo job. He hated it because after running EAM's he would have to run regular 10:30 air commits. 14 hour days most times. Reminds me of how fortunate I am for never taking one of those nightmare jobs.

The commit times. EAM's are 8:00AM and Next Day Air 10:30 with some area differences.

I'm basically doing this now. I work inside twilight 6p-10p, then load up a combo and shuttle it somewhere in the state. Get back around 4-5am. Then go to my primary job 8a-5p. Raking it in.

Do explain? I'm well beyond the 10 hour reset. I also don't actually drive more than 4 hours. Not sure if I missed something.
They only have me shuttle twice a week. 3 times if we get swamped. I'm pretty resilient when it comes to sleep. Especially for what they're paying me to do it.
You better never get in accident. They will fry your ass.

You count all compensated hours you work, not just at ups.

*edit* Y'all are right. Just confirmed with DOT HOS regulations. OOPS.
Kind of sucks. I enjoyed doing it.

pretty much every air/inside combo 22.3 job is crap, unless you have over 20+ years company seniority, then the pay rate is okay. Or, if you are low seniority, only work a couple hours inside and get most hours on-road at top air rate. These jobs are usually reserved for new FT's who get bumped, or in a few less likely situations, older drivers who are cruising to retirement.

you are not a "combo" as the OP is speaking about anyway, it sounds you are just a part-timer and covering open air shuttle assignments.

My first full time UPS job was air driver/midnight sort combo. I wasn't part time all that long and it was a good way to get full time. The traveling between our airport and ground hub was a pain, as was split pay (I made more doing the driving part, but only made inside part time wage doing the sort). Did it for a year in a half until an inside/inside bid came up that not many full timers wanted. Many years later a driving bid came up and I won that, all because I did the crappy job all those years ago (my full time seniority was much higher than if I waited for a good combo as a part timer).
Sum up: Crap job, crap pay, good way to obtain full time seniority and guarantee pay.
