Do you feel safe driving 100+ hours a week? :?

Would you put your family in a cab where the driver works 100 hours a week? :?

Whilst I agree, I think there are some naive people about.

This happens all over the country & you ain't going to stop it.

Put in tachos & they don't show that you're doing three other jobs, do they?

It will never be stopped!!

Do drivers actualy drive for 100 hours though? Or are they waiting around for 50% of that time on ranks? I suspect the latter.
