    Worst thing in the world is to call your fleet manager and explain in a polite manner that your pretty tired and would like to get more than your 8 hour joke they like to call a break. Call him back and tell him your going to sleep for god knows how long and you'll let him know when your ready to work again. If he tries to hassle you tell him to get safety on the line, I would bet my life savings he shuts up real fast. Even if everyone is against you, they CANNOT force you to move when your half a country away from them.
    Your fleet manager will tell you to quit being a little girl and do your job, but when you roll into a ditch because your were asleep behind the wheel he's going to ask why you were driving if you were so tired, and mysteriously have no idea what your talking about when you remind him that he was yelling at you to run without sleep.


    Always look out for your license first. Driving jobs are a dime a dozen ....
