Has anyone else asked to be induced and has actually been allowed to have it done?

I was induced with my first DD due to her having some complications with growth and i liked being able to know what day it was going to happen.

This time around i would like to be induced again, not extremely early, but around my due date. My DF works for the government doing their quarantine waste and if i were to go into labour while he is in the middle of a load he cant just drop it and come home, it has to be finished and returned and each laod takes 2 hours from pick up to drop off. Plus he works an hour away and my first labour was very fast so im a little bit worried that he wont get back in time to get me to hospital and ill end up going it alone at home. PLus id like to be able to sort out who is looking after DD while im in labour as both grandparents on both sides work shift work and no one really knows who will be able to have her.

There is also the birthday problems, Im due on either the 23rd or 26th of march, my DD birthday is the 27th march and my niece is the 23rd march so id prefer not to have any cross overs of days.

Does anyone else think that this is a reasonable excuse to ask for an induction?
