strappnasti50@reddit

I deliver medical supplies to hospitals. Our working days are Sunday-Thursday nights be we rarely use our 5th day. Senior guys have a three day weekend, the rest of us have a random night off during the week and always have Friday and Saturday night off

Slowly becoming a thing of the past, I am afraid. But they were nice, along with a great wage.

Flatbed and unload yourself with a forklift. 4 10s for me.

buddhathebard@reddit

It’s possible at the walfart

[-]

ivyentre@reddit

No it's not.

Minimum amount of days per week is 4.

[-]

buddhathebard@reddit

And op said he’s looking for a 4 day work week… so uh

[-]

ivyentre@reddit

Goddamn mobile...

I meant 5.

[-]

buddhathebard@reddit

Nah my dc has people working under 5 days. There’s a program and then some old dudes.

[-]

Desh282@reddit

I work at UNFI

Have 4 day bid. Pick up a 5th day for overtime

Man that is just about impossible bruh not even lying. Sysco is probably the only place that does it

[-]

Distinct-Event-7472@reddit

Are you serious ?!

[-]

Different_Mousse_564@reddit

Well it’s the truth

[-]

Clintfjr78@reddit

There are literally other drivers saying they work 4 days so how is it impossible?

[-]

Different_Mousse_564@reddit

It’s not very common

Pastorfuzz69@reddit

Fuel hauler here. 4 day workweek. Fri, Sat, Sun, and Monday. Weekends off don’t matter to me as I’m single. $39 per hour, time and a half after 40. I usually get around 42 to 50 hours per week. 3 days off per s great IMO.

[-]

meizhong@reddit

Can't get shit done on the weekends anyway. Dmv is closed, accountant is closed, doctor and dentist both closed. Better to have a couple of weekdays to get things done.

[-]

drivermurph@reddit

True and I've thought that. Recently tho, how often are you really going to DMV or your Dr? Because if you're having health issues on a regular basis, work may be the least of your issues.

[-]

meizhong@reddit

I go a couple times a year probably. Dentist at least that. And I have to take a day off, which means I'm a pay for the dentist AND lose a day's pay.

[-]

drivermurph@reddit

But it's not that often in the grand scheme of things. That's all I'm saying. And what works for you doesn't work for everyone else. I just know I had the 2 weekdays off at various points in my working life and that was more annoying than anything working every weekend compared to having Sun/Mon off or something. Weekends off were annoying in their own way, but not as bad. Just me though

I have to go to dr every 3 months to renew my adhd meds.

Wow you’re rich and local bro nice

[-]

Freight-N-Wait@reddit

Thats not bad at all tbh. Im in flatbed atm (just got my cdl) but was looking to potentially move over to tanker later. How hard is it to get on with fuel hauling, would you say?

Not making an immidiate jump OBV, but i like to know my options for later for sure

[-]

What company and tell me they have something in nyc

[-]

Nothing in NYC. Furthest east we operate is Grand Rapids Mi and west to Salt Lake City

[-]

StrawBunyan@reddit

I have a 4 day work week. I work for days and then immediately work 4 more. Then I do another 8 followed by 7 more.

Local governments. I work 4 10's and get nearly 3 weeks vacation.

Own_Clerk4772@reddit

Amazon freight partner wework mandatory three days a week. it depends on who you work for sometimes you can pick up a fourth and fifth day.

[-]

scottiethegoonie@reddit

Schneider Intermodal had a 4 day shift. Friday-Monday. It exists because those are unpopular days and hard to fill.

[-]

Baki007@reddit

Same with swift intermodal. Use to offer hourly as well.

[-]

K424n310F@reddit

Hey, how can I get in with swift intermodal? I’ve been calling driver placement for a year. It they say there’s nothing in Southern California. Is there someone else I should contact?

[-]

Phro_20@reddit

Four ten hour days here. Dump trucking for a construction company. Easy money. Longer weekend!

[-]

TruckinTuba@reddit

In n out, they also pay $39/hour

[-]

Amazon freight partners. Local stuff.

Why people acting like this is impossible, 4-day work weeks are pretty common in food/beverage delivery.

[-]

freightliner_fever_@reddit

i do it hauling wood. mon-tues and thurs-fri. off wed and weekends. ~35 hours total on duty time on average.

[-]

Really? I haven’t seen any

[-]

OGharambekush@reddit

I work 4 days a week at Sysco. Have Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday off.

[-]

No_Relationship_3077@reddit

This is really blowing my mind but thank you for the name drop I have to look into this because 6 days are kinda killing me but the only thing is I can’t afford a pay cut

[-]

MikeLPause@reddit

That’s ridiculous. I can’t believe drivers haven’t fought for having at least 2 weekend days off in a row. At least a Friday.

[-]

OGharambekush@reddit

They do, I’m new so I’m stuck on mandatory Saturday’s. They up front about that in the interview as well. Takes about a year to 2 to get off them. Honestly though I don’t mind the two weekdays off though. First day back is a Monday and the next day is my Friday basically. Makes doing food service way easier.

[-]

Tutorele@reddit

If anything I would rather have two weekdays in one weekend day off myself tbh, a lot of businesses are only Monday through Friday, having more time to interact with the rest of society to get things I need done would be very convenient.

Different folks have different needs, and so different fights

[-]

Big-Permission1243@reddit

I work for one of the largest alcohol distributors in the PNW. We work 4 10s with the option to work our 5th for overtime and also have weekends off. Most of the alcohol distributors around us are pretty much the same.

[-]

Redsoxdragon@reddit

Because those are the exception, not the rule. As greedy as sysco like companies are, they're not stupid. They'd enforce a 5 day schedule if they thought their drivers wouldn't burn out and get hurt so quickly

[-]

Anachronism--@reddit

My good service job is 4 days and yes, it’s very physical.

Charlie_Hustler@reddit

Your looking for unicorn tbh bro lol

[-]

GiantEnemaCrab@reddit

Pepsi, coke, milk, and sometimes even food service all do 4 days. I did 4 days at milk, I currently do 4 days at Pepsi. A lot of local jobs are 4 days. Did you even look?

[-]

Distinct-Event-7472@reddit

That’s the life

[-]

Feeling-Cap-7210@reddit (OP)

I only knew about Sysco besides amazon. I knew I could get quicker responses here.

[-]

GiantEnemaCrab@reddit

Go on Indeed and search "CDL A 4 days" and see what you can find. It really depends on where you live.

[-]

Charlie_Hustler@reddit

Lmao I tried Pepsi Coke and even Sysco when i first started. Best bet none of them offered 4 days and wanted me working 5 days instead lol. Maybe if your high up and have been there a while sure possibly but for someone just getting in. No lol

[-]

GiantEnemaCrab@reddit

I started at 4 days on each one lmao.

[-]

1morepl8@reddit

I only got 5 days in local food service because I came from transportation management at another food service gig. Everyone started 4 days.

[-]

Charlie_Hustler@reddit

Congrats im happy for you. Unfortunately not all of them are gonna offer the 4 day schedule and most are 5 days.

[-]

GiantEnemaCrab@reddit

This is wrong, I think you just stopped looking too quickly. Stop giving people absolute confident advice when I'm right here telling you it depends on the job / region.

[-]

easymachtdas@reddit

Is it difficult if youre willing to take the L financially? Like working a trash truck route or whatnot

[-]

Feeling-Cap-7210@reddit (OP)

Thought trash trucks get paid decent no?

[-]

Naborsx21@reddit

Meh, not really. Kinda the lower end of CDL jobs tbh

[-]

brokedasherboi@reddit

That depends. My local GFL is union and is at $39/hr with overtime after 8. Low cost of living area too. It's the highest paying CDL job within an hour drive of me

[-]

easymachtdas@reddit

Sounds kinda awesome

[-]

Naborsx21@reddit

Dang every place I've been garbage always paid pretty low. No unions gigs really anywhere I've lived though.

Last place I worked at was like $21/ hr and that was in a relatively nice area. Amazon pays roughly the same.

[-]

Feeling-Cap-7210@reddit (OP)

Guilty as charged bro 😂

[-]

drivermurph@reddit

I drive for a grocery chain that offers 4 and 5 day schedules (they split the 4 day so Sun/Tue/Wed off). Us foods and one of the milk distributors advertises 4 day schedules. That's without looking

[-]

Distinct-Event-7472@reddit

Food 4 less ?

[-]

tidyshark12@reddit

I team drive for estes. We get random amount of miles each week, only once got less than 5600 miles @ $0.93/mile rn between both of us. We leave out monday night and get home saturday morning or late friday night sometimes. So, about 4.5 days out usually. The way we have our schedule set up (each run 2-2) we can easily get 3 whole days off and not mess up our sleeping schedule too badly for weekends. I love it.

Try jockey positions they are mostly 4 on / 4 off

[-]

Hexum311add@reddit

Werner has some PT positions out of some of their terminals

[-]

MikeV2@reddit

I work 4 days a week. I do cross border regional work so I always have to go back to Canada after delivering in the US. If you live near the border this could be an option.

[-]

digit4lmind@reddit

You can do 4/3 hauling cars with Carvana I’ve heard

[-]

East_Indication_7816@reddit

Just tell dispatch you are sick on Tuesday and need rest tomorrow . That’s 4 day work week

[-]

bealiobealio@reddit

US foods

[-]

chillary_shank@reddit

I do fuel and work 4 on 4 off! Take home about 1200/wk. The only issue is it cuts my overtime some weeks depending on how the week falls, as I’m OT after 40. Absolutely love it regardless.

[-]

nick_soccer10@reddit

A bunch of guys at my Sysco house are 4 days. They let you do what you want..4-5-6 days.

[-]

qaf0v4vc0lj6@reddit

Food service or some LTL jobs. I had one at Bunzl but then they started having people come in all the time on their third day off because they were “behind”.

I was in the process of going part-time and they cancelled by transition to part-time for the same reason but promised to send me part time “once they were caught up”.

[-]

drivermurph@reddit

So in other words...dangle the carrot?

[-]

qaf0v4vc0lj6@reddit

Yeah, that is why I left for a real part-time trucking job after 30 days past my deadline to go part-time.

Haven't looked back since.

[-]

Propane bobtail here in the PNW is common to have 4x10 work weeks. Many put you on unemployment in the summer tho.

[-]

norseprincesspdx@reddit

They should all be 4 day..ive been looking and its not easy

[-]

Mysterious-Bug6183@reddit

DOT foods used to have the 4x4

[-]

DoctorZebra@reddit

My employer offers 4 day schedules - Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. It's called the weekend warrior shift and they're paid $5/hr than the 5 day people because they get fewer hours.

It's hauling gas.

[-]

saintxsteezus@reddit

Dot foods transport has 4x4 6x3 and traditional otr! Ive heard nothing but good things about them. Put in an application myself.

[-]

MidLifeChanger@reddit

Let people know where you live or plan to live/move for one of these jobs. Otherwise you'll get generic suggestions at best.
