Pretty sure this doesn’t belong here. But, it’s been a year since I ditched my “we schedule you 32 hours, but you work 80 maybe 96 because your coworkers call out constantly” job and became a truck driver.
wth is a 8 day week even supposed to mean?
Truck drivers hours are federally regulated. We can’t be on duty for more than 70 hours in an 8 day period. We also can’t drive more than 11 hours a day and are required to wait ten hours before we can start driving again. To reset our weekly hours we are required to wait 34 hours before we can go on duty, though we do get hours back if we manage our hours well enough for them to rollback on the ninth day.
FMCSA hours of service regs for truck drivers. They can’t drive after 70 hours on duty in 8 consecutive days and have to take 34 hours off to reset the 8 day clock.
He works 8 days on then gets a seat amount of days off
I would routinely do 8 to 14 days on (12 hr days) on and then get 2 to 7 days off all summer for 10 years (different industry though)
I don’t recommend it TBH. Im now on a 37.5 hr week and couldn’t be happier.
