I like the 15, makes for a bumper pay day the following friday. Rarely work it at the current job, but sometimes i’ll drag the day out, go to a chippy, get my hair cut, find a shower, it’s all on the clock so why not? My boss is rich, he can afford to pay a few hours extra. I like to sit in the traffic or take scenic route back, use up that days drive, no need to rush back unless it’s a friday. Sometimes i’ll only do an 11 or 12 and book them for a 15 anyway.
If the government banned big hours honestly i wouldn’t even take any notice, i’d just do off card work in the evenings or stop driving trucks altogether. Why pick on lorry drivers anyway? The guys that runs my local newsagent works a 6am til 10 Mon - Sat. Minicab drivers hit massive hours every day all off card. Van drivers. Pizza boys. Or anybody with a second job. Who’s out to take away their livelihood?
