I work shifts. Four days day shift, four days off, four days night shift, four days off, back to four days day shift. I do 30 miles per shift to get home and back, so that is 30 miles per shift. I am as pissed as a lord and can't figure out my annual mileage. Can anyone, not as pissed as me help? hic.

365/12 = 30.5 ish rotations of your shift pattern. 30.5 * 8 (days worked per shift pattern = 244 days worked per year, less 25 for holidays (ish) = 219 days worked, * 60 miles = 13140 miles.

You drive for half the year (4 on, 4 off) so that is 365/2 8 30, or about 5,475 miles.

364/2 = 182

182 x 30 = 5462

Divided 364 by 2 because you work 4 days in 8...

Haven't a clue what the answer should be, but I do know that somehow it involves two swallows and a coconut on a line . . . .

Cocked mine up, I read it as 30 miles each way, so 6570 miles. The OP works 8 days in 12.

YMMV

4 days day shift
4 days off
4 days nights
4 days off
Repeat.

Wouldn't 4 on and 4 off, also mean that he worked 8 in 16 as well as 8 in 12 ? smile

Another going for 5475

He works 8 in 16 days, so that's 1 in 2.
