Average hours?

50 is usually the min often your expected to work more especially if tramping.
Day rate is very common as well so it usually works out that they are paying you less then they claimed during interview.

There are expections but generally 50+ hours a week is the norm for full timers.

Don’t think I’d like to be stuck on a day rate. Does that ever work out better for the driver? I’m guessing 7am is a pretty standard starting time for a day driver as well?

Depends who you work for, a lot of the companies that I have worked for average around 11 hours a day on hourly rate but you need to be flexible, some longer days and shorter days to compensate, it depends on traffic and loading so often at short notice.
05:00-06:00 starts are probably most in demand so you may struggle to get at first…be flexible, get your foot in the door, get experience then work it out from there…there’s some well paid work about!
