There are advantages to each. But you don't want to drive all day to get home and all night to get to work on a 7/7 schedule. You will run twice the miles on your vehicle on a 7/7 schedule.

14 days off is great. 14 days working sucks.

I work 7 nights, then 7 days. Th schedule sux. I'd rather work 14 straight days or nights.

I would not mind 14/14...with 6weeks vacation under my belt I could take all summer off...
