Is it common to find 4-on 4-off doing recovery?
Depends on the business model of the garage & how rogue they are, but it’s not unheard of.
The outfit near to me that operates 4on 4off expect their drivers to do an 8hr+ day in the vehicle then be on call for eve’s & nights. If you think that recovery is all about hanging around drinking tea then you’ve never done it, they’ll work you till you finally drop, or fall asleep at the wheel . . . . ! When you chat with these drivers, who are slowly waking up & becoming aware to what they signed up for, you learn that they live for 4 days snatching 2-4hrs sleep here & there.
