Mostly a Citation 560 Encore+ and sometimes the venerable King Air B200.

Sometimes glass and then steam gauges all in the same day...

I saw a King Air (B350 i think) on a crazy diving short approach into PDX the other day that reminded me they aren't just for hauling executives around

Sadly, it has turned into a nightmare. Hostile management who made themselves multi millionaires off the backs of the pilots. We are losing pilots as fast as we can hire them. The company is suing the pilots and trying to force an amalgated contract with the bankrupt concessionary Southern contract.

Stay away unless you can't get hired anywhere else. Kalitta now has a better contract than Atlas.

Edited to add: Sorry, I didn't fully READ the op's title: Closest thing I fly for work is off the handle.

WG-5823-10 "Automotive Mechanic" DoD-Army: we repair all that snow removal equipment, Trucks, de-icers, Mowers, Ground Power units, Airfield, Range, and Garrison vehicles & equipment, etc.

Extra duties include Departure/Arrival Airfield Control Group (DAAC/G) operation of Halvorsen 25K Loader, Belt loaders, HAZMAT, Joint Inspection of cargo, and anything else they need skilled labor for.

My goal: "If it rolls, crawls, floats, or Flies I can repair and operate it."
