Anybody work nights?

Anybody work nights? I rotate every 4 weeks from working days and nights.

Been awhile, but when I was a Cop I loved working nights. I could get across town very quickly due to no traffic, the brass wasn't around, they were all sleeping, and I could become almost invisible in the dark. In the Military the dark is your friend! As I continue to get older it's getting harder to stay awake past 9!

I seem to work better on nights too, but now being older and having a family, it makes it hard to do stuff sometimes.

I have transferred back to days for 4 weeks and then will be back on nights.

What do you do for a living?

I am now an industrial mechanic, I was an aircraft mechanic prior to this job, i was not able to find an aircraft job local so this industrial mechanic position opened up that has been a real blessing for me and my family. I keep the production equipment running which includes pumps, conveyors, vacuum systems, most of the stuff is controlled by PLCs so I am having to learn that stuff. And of course the whole plant runs on 480 volts and it's a small shop of mechanics with me being lowest seniority

Nice, sounds like a decent gig

Frame off, on 35" Goodyear dura tracs Dana 44 front Dodge 9.25 rear Detroit true tracs 3.91 gears spring over AMC 360, NV4500 Dana 300 with4-1 gears 32 spline outputs twin sticks........ Working on the NV at the moment, I didn't realize that it's an early model 6.34 when I bought it. I finished loading the 23 spline main shaft last night and am waiting on money for the advanced adapters bell housing so I can button up the Transmission
