The driver was on his 59th hour of work that week in the final hours of his 12-hour night shift. Let’s not encourage overworking, in most jobs you won’t be that much more productive anyway, and in others you run the risk of making potentially fatal mistakes. (Luckily he made it out fine.)
I’ve lived this, I’m still recovering from nerve damage caused by some guy stepping out of a garden bed late at night in front of my tram wearing all black.
Should’ve flattened the cunt, maybe folks will stop walking out when they read of the deaths in the news.
It’s a huge issue here, and I’m glad I don’t drive trams any more, I make 70% of my previous earnings for 1% of the bullshit, and I work maximum 4 days/wk now.
Edit: nerve damage caused due to shoulder sublux during panic emergency braking.
This fucking dude in the picture fortunately has no responsibility beyond the investor money from other fucking idiots who think the economy, the planet, all our well-being, is an elaborate casino game.
70 hours per 8 days, up to 14 hours working per day with 11 of those driving.
There’s a required 30 minute break before you reach 8 hours, but a couple years ago they redefined it such that it just had to be 30 minutes not driving. So now the time I spend unloading the truck at the destination counts as a “break” for me.
That’s the federal rules, but my state has its own HOS. (These can apply when not moving across state borders, as the federal government only has jurisdiction over INTERstate commerce). The state HOS is 80 hours in 8 days, 16 hours working, 12 driving. No breaks needed.
You could be distinguished like this guy in a UK Rail Accident report.

Look into Hours of Service for US truck drivers.
