Only the REAL A-holes stop my during lunch!!! Most people are not that rude to bother you!!! Again I said most!!!! Every route is different and so is every driver!!Just some people just need to be told.......Step away from the vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!Seriously?
So...if you are sitting there in the truck and drinking a cup of coffee during your break and a customer came up to you and politely asked if you had their package....you would actually tell them to go pound sand? You would actually make them stand there and wait for the remaining 9 minutes and 15 seconds of your break before you got up and opened the BH door and handed them their package?
I guess I'm just not that hardcore. Call me weak if you want, but it seems to me that the right thing to do is to interrupt my lunch or break for a moment and then resume it after the customer has been taken care of. The contract language was never intended to force the driver to be anto his customers.
Delivering during lunch break?

- Start date
I wish Brown would learn that....They always wait 10 seconds to you punch out for lunch...to send you 7 stupid messages!!!!!!!!! WTF....???????????????

I would know which shelf that person's package should be on. I would find it, pull the PAL and/or do Find BC once my lunch is over.

Maybe, in the BOG, with a perfect loader and custom loads every day, and no odd splits or add/cuts, and a perfect dispatch supe who never screws up your load, I agree.

As a steward I would absolutely support the right of a driver to take an uninterrupted lunch--even if I personally thought he was an
for choosing to exercise that right by refusing to hand a customer their package during his break. I answered your question, now you answer mine. Would you really tell a customer to pound sand if they approached you during your break? Would you really make them stand there and wait for 10 minutes? Do you really feel that the contract language was intended to be interpreted in such a manner?
I believe that originally Ovah pointed out that as of July 1st, the half-hour, uninterrupted break is mandated by federal law, not just the contract.

According to UPS every business we deliver to takes lunch between 12-1 so we don't have that problem.

We work damn hard out there, and DESERVE an uninterrupted lunch.
Read your post. It's pretty obvious you only like to defend the parts of the contract you like. If you don't like some parts of the contract followed, any member who DOES is an

I agree; however, would it really be that big of a deal to help someone out on an occasional basis?
