I am slaveried. I mean salaried.
That means I am their ##### 24/7. Thankfully only M-F. (weekends are by volunteer, as long as they have enough volunteers)
So when I only have a 10 hour day, they know they can put a load on me in ten hours from when I shut down.
If it was a 9-5 job I would not start again til 9. But in the case of a trucker, I am paid to sleep on command so I am available for dispatch at the end of my ten.
