[Ken07AOVette]

Just got back from a 911 call.

Be safe everyone.

[BANG]

You get to work days OR nights ?
Sweet!
These 135hr weeks kick a guy in the arse after a while

[Steve07]

Calving cows 24/7 since January... Could be worse, like an office job maybe.

[neznam]

I'm just starting 4:00 -10:30 am.
This have to be the worst kind of shift.:angry3:

[nof60]

[wolf308]

Omg. Awesome lee. I'm not on nights at moment with newest job. But crew change is at 5 to 5 alberta time. Or 6 here in sask. Also have plenty o 400 s. Fraccing thru the coil. I just recently went back to coil from a drilling rig where more often than not was on nights.

January weren't too bad but February kinda doin' the suction ain't it?

Good luck with that.

You really work 20 hours a day 7 days straight?

[Fisherpeak]

I plow snow with a cat loader and a 12 foot pusher from 2 A.M. till 2 P.M.
I love night shift,nobody around,cruising down the main drag in the dark,heater and radio on.Beats hell out of construction work.I did that for too long.

[CaberTosser]

He's probably accounting for the OT hours added to the actual hours worked.

[gmcmax05]

You smelt that too, lol

[BANG]

Nope thats for real.its not 20hrs a day straight up sometimes 16-17 hrs a day sometimes way more evens out to 135 ish usualy .
To be fair though im on a 7-7 shift so plenty of time to recouperate.
And usualy get to sneak in a nap here and there.
Well worth it to essentualy have half the year off.

Back in the day when i was doing drill pipe/tubing inspection we would do 20hr days for a lot longer then 7 in a row.was well worth the $9 hr.lol

I thought employers were limited to 15 or 16 hours straight as max shift? Maybe this is only a union thing but I though it was work safety standards.

What it says on paper you can work vs what you actually work are 2 totally different things.

[Steve07]

January weren't too bad but February kinda doin' the suction ain't it?

Good luck with that.

Seems to be the pattern the past few years. Feb is set to double down on said suction for a few days it appears...

Oops.

I wish someone told me that before I spent 22 hrs pouring concrete in the summer heat.

Or 26 hrs clearing snow in a loader because I was the only operator available.

Sometimes stuff needs to get done and some men are man enough to stand up and do it.

I've worked 48 hours straight when other have called in sick. The job need to be done.

Ive worked 80 hour weeks to help out the people I work for and they have cut me a lot of slack now that I have medical issues.

You get what you put in and people get what they deserve.

[Steve07]

You forgot what comes after that... Still I ain't seen mine.
