Hi,
If you are to work 8 hrs shifts with 5 hrs driving management will say move closer!
The only shift that works for me is 4 on 4 off rotating days nights when you go from days to nights it seems like 5 days a you only start on the night of day 5 after last shift,also you get 16 days in bed at night in one go. I also did permy nights but gave it up as my wife was all for leaving as I was a real **** to live with when doing all nights.
And as a passing note most companys say 12hrs min rest between finsh and next start time!
