Assume, as said by others, that it is a 9hrs plus drive…but on rare occasions it may take just under 9hrs.
You will always need to take a driving break in each direction.
Any slight hitch occurring after the time you would have had a break, then you are over the 4-30 and you are in the wrong.
Taking that driving break will inevitably put a couple of minutes on the drive as you slow, pull off, park, accelerate and manoeuvre onto the road again. (see above: assume always 9+hrs)
Really, it`s not worth chasing the under 9 time.
If that sounds a job you want, then fine.
If you think you will need more shifts and need the 3rd shift, then look elsewhere.
As already said youll likely need a 45 on the way up, and if you can get a 15 in Glasgow, You
ll be OK with a 30 on the way back.
Id try to get past the 2hr30 or 3hr mark on both drives, but don
t see any advantage to going much further.
Assuming you will be doing over 4hrs30 each way, then many prefer to do a 15 break after a while, followed by 30, later on. Personal preference. See how you feel on any particular day.
