Im not sure what the rules on that are. It would be about a 40 min roundtrip, 20 there and 20 back if i break trace. Theres a lot of urban sprawl out here. Suburbs as far as the eye can see.

If the Company finds that unacceptable, they can always reloop.
After all, they agreed to the lunch language, and whether you pack or buy lunch, it's reasonable to expect to be able to wash up and sit down in a clean, climate controlled environment.
Where do you use the restroom?

That's an oxymoron!

Awhile back, when the DOT was requiring that we record and take at least 30 consecutive minutes of uninterrupted break, I literally saw two grown men cry over not being allowed to skip their lunch by law.
Sobbed like a family member just died.
I wouldn't have believed it, had I not seen it with my own two eyes.
The reasons they sited made me want to puke.

Could you provide their excuse?
Was it “(sniff,sniff) We can’t get all our business done. (Sniff,sniff)”?

Real tears and all.
I was embarrassed for them.

We are allowed to drive up to 1 mile in either direction off of our routes to find a place to eat or take a leak.

Was that negotiated or did your boss pull it out of his arse
Osha says that a bathroom break can be any clean public restroom.
Drive faster.

Dont listen to that know-it-all. He is wrong again.
The perimeters are route driven as verified by the Labor Dept here. In our area we are manadated to a 3 hr window. If you are driving an excessive distance past restaurants to eat during the window written in the cba then it may cause you to be scrutenized as being off area. If your route dispatch takes you a few miles away from restaurant(s) and you have to break off to stay within the CBA language covering meal time then so be it.
The orion system had me taking my lunch after the allotted time just to get an extended business delivered before their (everyday) close time of 15:00. I said sorry, im taking lunch as written in the cba and breaking trace (20 miles at times) to deliver the business before they close.
They changed my dispatch after a week and life is better for the bean counters in ie.
Awful hard to squat in one?
No but you’re obligated to abide by the laws. Go ahead and piss in a bottle like a troll for all I care. I’ll get paid to seek out a bathroom to take a half squirt. Time is money Rocky Scabola!!!
