Well while using the search function in here i found a typical roster:

“This can be a typical roster.
Sun: LEJ-CGN 2200-2300z [24 hours in CGN]
Mon: CGN-LEJ 2200-2300z
Tue: LEJ-ARN 0300-0450z [Day stop] ARN-LEJ 2030-2200z
Wed: LEJ-BLL 0320-0430z [Day stop] BLL-LEJ 2145-2250z
Thur: LEJ-CIA 0350-0540z [Day stop] CIA-LEJ 2040-2240z

When returning to LEJ after each trip, unless you have an apartment nearby the airport, you'll end up waiting in the hub for the next sector and that can be up to 4 hours. There are sleeping facilities (bunks, quiet room with reclining chairs) though you have to be early to grab a chair or even a bunk as they go rather quickly.”

In other words, i need anyway to rent a flat or getting a hotelroom for a few nights a week. On top of that commuting will be extremely expensive ( if i have to fly by airline back since jumpseating is really hard). Basically my expenses will increase like hell and my higher salary will be lower from what i have now.

Bit of a shame i have to withdraw myself now because i really think DHL is a good stable outfit with a lot of perspectives.

best regards.
