I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

I work in the LTL freight industry in the US so I'm supposed to be working about 8 hours but lately it's been about 10 and change

Good news is I get time and a half whenever I pass 8 hours on a shift

Bad news is my sleep quality has gone to shit

As an aside the reason for all the OT is because of YRC going under, suddenly all the freight they were hauling is getting off loaded onto other companies.

The boss today said that the mandatory OT is, "Only going to last for the foreseeable future." He has such a way with words, the moment he speaks he just kills the vibe.
