Do you start your lunch break when you arrive, or start driving, to your break destination?

[MECH-lift]

Your supervisor is a liar. It is illegal to operate the vehicle if you are not getting paid. Don’t ever do any work while punched out. Including, and especially, driving and/or sorting packages. The two rules to live by while on the lunch/break are......

1: Don’t drive
2: Don’t touch packages


It’s that simple! Anyone who does either or both of those are typically cowards or selfish runner and gunners.

guys are running and gunning in our center to try to run under 8 hours so they don’t have to take lunch...pathetic

I agree. If you are clocked out on a break and driving to your destination and get in a wreck than you may be ed.

The oms computer used to show a dinner plate with utensils on it when you entered your lunch into the diad. It also showed when the wheels were turning after you punched off break.

You ever have the urge to beat your DIAD off of the pavement?

Or send a special message as you clock out for the last time prior to retirement?

We had a feeder driver who used to say his meal period began when his food hit the table. (timecard, not electronic) Now he is in management and denies he ever said it. lol.

 

[Overpaid Union Thug]

Some sups are newbies who believe what other management told them about breaks. Not always purposely dishonest but drank too much brown kool aid

True, but in my center it has always been a seasoned supervisor that knew better that has tried that crap

Was worried where that was headed for a minute.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Pack a sandwich and eat on the side of the road I do it everyday. Find good cell service watch a little Netflix and eat your sammich.

Nope
DOT regulations state you must have access to clean water and a bathroom during your break.

If you are driving you aren't off duty

DOT Regulations allow you to use your vehicle for personal conveyance. This time is off duty status and unpaid.

For those operating vehicles over 10,000# gvw and drive over 150 miles per day as the crow flies.

Ups internal rule.

As far as I know you can operate an affected or applicable CV past your dot hrs only to get directly to the nearest lodging/break or rest area if you are detained by circumstances beyond your control.
