Isaac Bickenstaff's definitions

working by the hour

When you see a truck going 10-15 miles per hour under the speed limit, it's a good bet the driver is being paid hourly and not per job. Also, the job is probably unpleasant so getting to it is not a priority.

No wonder traffic isn't moving. That sewer pump out truck driver is working by the hour.
