Question: definitions on 24 hours a day? 

Answer: It means that services, or person or job goes on LITERALLY for 24 hours each day. For example a Towing company may advertise, something like we tow 24 hours per day. This doesn't mean they are actually towing a car or vehicle. It means that they are available 24 hours a day.
