Bureaucrats have to justify their existence. Therefore they can never say, hey these guys are professionals, they know when they are tired. Let’s not make it hard for them to pull over and take a nap.
Back in the day, hell 35 years ago, before cell phones, if you needed to get a message to the home unit, you could call on the CB for anyone on a base unit to give a call on the land line. I got them to cal my wife I would be home in 4 hours and could you tell her to go down and pick up 6 dozen minnows cuz we are going fishing at midnight when I get home. Greatest time of my life.
