I'm on a split at Deptford. I do the same shift everyday Monday - Friday.

I do my school run in the morning (just over 2 hours including check times) and the same on an afternoon (again just over 2 hours).

3 days per week I'm spare and cover either late breaks, Service work which would otherwise go uncovered or cover mileage for breakdowns (or any combination of the above). My shift length (clock on to clock off is 9 hours 10 minutes).

Some drivers don't like splits because there is no variety and also whilst you do get every weekend off, you don't get long weekends.
