Does anyone have experience or knowledge working on the Galveston Ferries? Just curious on the work schedule and work/life balance? Not super interested now but I live in the area so thought it could be nice once kids come into the picture. Currently have a 2nd Mate Unlimited
I got a job offer for TXDOT for the Ferry, but my wife won’t let me go because I would have to move there (for a bit less than I make now). I heard it is great because they pay for all the schooling, and you can promote up from OS to Captain.

Did they say what the work schedule is?
I was told 8 to 10 hr shifts. May go up to 12s during peak season. Ferries run 24/7, but the morning is usually 1 ferry and they add an additional one or 2 later in the day.
