Well, do like I do on my long days. Get up/start earlier. Tell your bosses you want to be up and delivering at dawn so you can be done by dusk. My day starts in the dark, around 4:30 am to do chores, 6:40 leave with the bus, usually pull in the drive at 3:40 pm, done with chores around 5:30-6:00 pm. Now I can eat supper and relax (which means sleep to the sound of the tv in my chair!). Guess I gotta say, glad you have a job, hope you feel the same. Be safe out there, drunk drivers and mean dogs never sleep, they happen around the clock!
Hey Chuck, need to add to my post to you, if this is actually going to happen to you two things come to mind. Get a flourescent (sp?) orange or green vest to wear as well as a headlamp. Not the cheap five dollar ones for the bill of your cap. Look at a K light headlamp. About 100 dollars but will run over 16 hours on a charge and illuminate past my teams ears so they can see. Be visible.
