Please fill in this survey

about time somebody looked into the abuse of FTL's that has become the norm in our industry.
Flying night freight I spent at least 50% of my time trying to keep at least one eye open then in the morning had the task of trying to drive home whilst knackered. (scaring myself at least 3 times per year)
Sleep during the day is not worth sleep at night so the credit system doesn't work.
Have a go at this survey - it didn't take long and lets hope some good comes out of it before they finally turn a skilled and responsible job into a bus driver. (although bus drivers have greater controls over the hours worked)
