I once thought it would be a good idea to take a driving job for salary instead of hours or miles. I was told 8-9 hours a day max. Within 2 weeks I was driving 11 hours every day in addition to loading and unloading my own trailer with a forklift for an additional 4-6 hours. That lasted a few weeks before I had enough.
copperdome and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
All I have to say is that the longest days I have worked was not done in a single day. lol
Them days are gone for me, It has probably been 3 years or so that I pulled a side dump for 12 hours, on the way to the yard the boss called and ask if I would go to prudhoe. I ask when and he said now, I told him I had better come by and fuel up first, made for a good check for just a driver that week. That was not near the longest, but the longest I have done in years.D.Tibbitt and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
18 hours paving a couple weeks ago.
30 something when I was a kid and a valet/bellman. I mostly just slept tbh.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
I just got done at 9:30 tonite so I just did 14 hours more after the 19 so 33 hours on 3 hours sleep woohoo.... if i go to sleep soon tho I might actually get a full nite of sleep. Too bad I’m paid buy the load and I can normally get the same 5 loads done 10-12 hours in good weather. Most of my time came from just waiting on people digging the sawdust out their trailers.
FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
I’m not sure how exactly they get around it legally or if it is legal they always just say “don’t ever write you’ve worked more than 11 hours.”201 Thanks this. -
If we are working local, we have to fill out a log book if we write down we worked over 12 hours legally.
