I mean if I was a miner and instead of working in the mines I could just drive for 8 hours that sounds a little more doable. In any case, what if I just get a job somewhere and then move? As much as people on lemmy hate driving I’m sure there’s someone out there who likes it.

If you get in an accident is the company liable since you are on the clock?
How would they check your time?
What if you were running an errand before work does time start when you get in the car or when you finish the errand?
