Hi everyone i was wondering whats the longest shift you`s have done? 
errr… 15hrs 
About 36 hours.
shade:
errr… 15hrs
lol. 
I regularly do shifts with 15 hours of duty time. Before the rules changed shifts with 16 hours of duty were done.
That’s the legal ones. But longest shift was probably Vienna to Slough via Munich when I wanted to get home to go to football many years ago. With tipping in Vienna, loading groupage in Munich and the Calais - Dover ferry crossing it was around 29 hours. I also went from Calais to Paris to Florence in one shift which was a fair length, I think it was about 24 hours.
Not driving but 4380 hours on one job. Which serves me right for joining Her Majesty’s reserve forces 
Same here I usually do 3 - 15hr shifts a week plus 10 - 13 hrs on the remaining 2 days
26 hours on a double man thanks to the customer being useless
18 hours solo couldnt / wouldnt do any more too knackered changed over Crick for another crazy driver to carry on to Metz
18 hourish Leamington Kilmarnock back to Leam loading unloading etc all at 90k in Merc 407 noisy old thing
27 hours Portalegre to Calais (1979) 
77 hours.
I am paid from the moment I leave to the moment I am back. I am paid for driving, waiting, tipping, eating my lunch, sleeping etc.
Being paid for sleeping… Job of my dreams
I think it’s fair deal 
a nice little run from cherbourg to north of madrid (a case of if you dont get tipped friday you sit till monday) the one and only time i ran bent it was a while ago in my trusty daf 3300
44 hours when i was working on ship repairs and we were working in newhaven.

Nothing wrong with listening to Hawkwind.
Anybody who has done ‘one a week’ to Italy/Spain/Portugal will have done quite a few 24hr days in their time.
Pre Tachograph, most drivers would’ve been doing regular 18hr days.
Drivers running log books for BSE/Foot & Mouth/Water shortages will also have done some big days too.

Well. Nothing that a bullet to the head or a full frontal labotamy wouldn’t solve, anyway.
