Max, I was kidding about jobs in Scotland. I consider it a foreign assignment when I have to go across the border to Louisiana, & I ain't going further than that.
And no, the driving is in the dark, unless you go to work very early. And the drive home is always in the dark - get off just about sundown, & then start the drive, the company-supplied bed in the 5-man trailer doesn't belong to you on break night, it belongs to your relief, so you have to go immediately. You just have to be careful, because those back country roads are dangerous.
Actually, I have it pretty good right now. I go to work in daylight, to sign in at 5PM for night duty at a real city, with an actual airport, and real restaurants & everything. That's why I stay on night duty.
