Cacciato 11/29/22 4:53:58 PM #13:	teddy241 posted... Them poor workers live on the road. And are on call all the time. They cant drink or relax. Sure they get paid well but iv seen stories where people work 24 hours then get a cab to a hotel then sleep for 4 hours then get called out again The batshit schedule is one of the reasons I refused to go back after I was furloughed. But as for the post-work time off, its federally regulated (at least in the US). For instance, for Norfolk Southern at least, if you were technically working on the clock for 24 hours (which Ive seen) youd get the required ten hours off plus an hour for every hour you exceed a 12 hour duty day. So 22 hours before you were allowed to work again. What sucks is that 22 hours might be sitting in a hotel and who knows when the next job is set to roll around again. <cite>Cacciato posted [p:969790882] in Do you sup...
