Out Monday, back Thursday, and nobody at home is sure which Thursday
Long-haul work is measured in runs rather than shifts. Home time depends on the load, the reset and the traffic, so the answer to "when are you back" is an estimate that keeps changing — and the people asking are the ones you most want to see.
The schedules this actually has to cope with
Freeish is built around these, not around a nine-to-five with the occasional exception.
Multi-day runs
Out for days at a time, with a return that moves with the load.
The 34-hour reset
A mandated break that decides when you can roll again, and therefore when you get home.
Sleeper berth splits
Rest broken across the day, so being stopped is not the same as being free.
Home time
The days that matter to everybody else, and the ones most affected by everything above.
What it sounds like at home
- “My family plan around a return date that keeps moving.”
- “I am stopped but resting, and that reads as free.”
- “Time zones mean I call at the wrong hour.”
- “Home time gets cut short and nobody knows until I am rolling again.”
- “The kids ask which day I am back and I genuinely do not know.”
Where Freeish fits
Runs go in as blocks, so the days at home are unmistakable.
Rest and reset periods are visible as unavailable rather than looking like downtime.
When home time moves, one edit tells everyone at once.
Your family see times in their own zone, not wherever you happen to be.
One week, start to finish
