    I'll typically "fudge" out 3 to 5 hours a week of on-duty time ... 15 minutes here, a half hour there ... never know if you'll need those "extra" hours towards the end of your 70 hour or not.

    I'm local now and still don't know what a 40 hour week looks like, lol. One trip out and back is 48 hours for me.

    How many miles are in your 40 hour week
    I'm guaranteed 42.5 hrs per week, but most times exceed that, sometimes up to 60 or more hours per week.

    Time and a half after 8 / 40

    Double time on Sunday (We only work Sunday if there's a snow or ice storm).

    Miles? Sometimes my only "miles" are driving from home to work and back again 3.5 miles each way(when I'm working in the shop).

    Other times if the boss has me moving equipment or driving a dump truck I may get 500 to 1000 miles in a week, but that's immaterial since I'm paid by the hour.

    .
    If you can't shift it smoothly, you shouldn't be driving it.

    Truck Driving an occupation consisting of hours of boredom interrupted by sheer terror!!

    About 125 miles per week. That includes driving to the gym (company paid membership) on the way home from work 4 days per week. Comes out to about 11 dollars per mile.
