Can an HGV driver work 2 blocks of 6 days weeks and make the compensation up en block on the third week.

45 Rest.

Sunday rest 30 hours total
Monday to Friday working

Not so much a “Can you?” question, but a “Should you?” Don’t unless you’re desperate to;

  1. Fall asleep at the wheel.
  2. Make a catastrophic error damaging people or property.
  3. Have a heart attack at 50 and let another bloke bounce your grandchildren on his knee.

As the guy says…
Or even …‘‘Why the ■■■■ would anyone want to’’ unless you have serious financial problems to the point of a couple of heavies rocking up in a Jag at the front door.
That is why this job will never get any better, too many heroes/idiots who would work 24 hour days if they were allowed…
