A friend of mine works for the City of Burnaby. Every five weeks or so, he gets to take a truck home for the week.
For this he gets to be on call 24/7.
Should something happen, they need to respond. Accidents don't just happen during business hours.
I have been with him when he had to walk off the golf course due to a call; he has missed family functions, kids’ events and sleep.
At least that's why he takes a vehicle home.
