Or regards if you mean 10 hours driving
It’s twice a week. Can they force you to do it. Don’t know.
But They probably expect you to do it. If don’t your find your get all the rubbish jobs down lanes back end beyond handball etc.
As that’s the childish mentality of a lot of planners these days…they expect you to max your hours out every day.
One way to get round it in a way is say your getting close to 9 hours driving .before you park up/ get back to the yard ease up go over 9 hours driving.
As even if only drive for 9 hours 1 min it would still be classed as a 10 hour drive then when they expect you to go over can say well already been over once this week
