A printout?
To make it sound even worse than it is, the article states a legal maximum day shift of 9 hours, conveniently comparing driving hours with the alleged 30 hour duty periods of the miscreant.
Yet another small example of media spin/mistake/obfuscation where they mislead those who might believe what they hear and read every day.
37 hr shift ? Easy ! I`ve come within a couple of minutes of doing it
Work 4hrs 30,1 hr break, work 4hrs30, 1hr break, work 4hrs.
8hrs 59min off*
Work 4hrs30, 1hr break, work 4hrs30, 1 hr off, work 4hrs.
An illegal 39hr shift. (less a minute)
It is illegal of course.
*Taking 9hrs1min here means it is two shifts, not one. Legal.
I have no idea what the driver in question has really done regards shift length, and the fortnightly driving seems very high, but, don`t take news reports at face value.
