Pretty funny how you ignored everyone who said the law is on our side when it comes to bathroom breaks and instead jumped to this.

Actually I don't. At the risk of passing along too much information, I take a leak before I leave the building, another one when I deliver to the medical office building around lunch time and yet another one when I make the pickup at the Nissan dealership around 3 pm.
The only other option is to fly over it and crash right into the control tower (be a steward and grieve everything while following "the methods" everyday and being at least 2 or 3 hours over allowed everyday.)

60 minutes is 60 minutes. It is up to you to plan your restroom breaks accordingly.
The OP was clearly stealing time.
I'll pass that info along so they can fire you for stealing time. Clearly you are delaying the time before you leave. You could have pee'd before start time. TIME STEALER!!! Just think how that is hurting your center manager's numbers!

"Your" not "you". Spelling Nazi.

"Before I leave the building" implies that it was before start time.

Yes because we all know you collect supplies, set up your truck, bring packages to the clerks, do address corrections and go pee before you punch in.
There is no need to "plan your restroom breaks". This is settled law. The OP was wrong to extend his breaks. But other than that you immediately go to the rest room when ever you need to. Your own personal self-imposed rules are BS.

Wrong. Federal courts have ruled that the company will supply transportation to the nearest rest room and you do not have to wait to be near one. The DOT has ruled that whenever your wheels are moving you are to be clocked in.

The miles to and from Taco Bell (off trace) are not counted in break time if he was going there to use the bathroom, and it is the closest public bathroom. (go to the bathroom first). If he breaks trace and drives 5 miles to Taco Bell to use the rest room but then stays to eat, the clock starts clicking for break when he shuts off the vehicle to when he starts up again. If he does not stay after using the restroom it is paid for time (compensated).

There has never been an official policy in my center as to how far off route we are allowed to drive to either find a restroom or place to eat but the consensus on this forum appears to be 1 mile or less.
To eat yes, but if the nearest restroom is 3 miles, then you go 3 miles.

In today's Orion push with mileage, any move off trace will be scrutinized that adds miles.
But you can choose which bathroom or where you want to eat within reason, UPS can't say nothing about it.
That's one of the reasons why it takes more than just having a license to be a driver.
You have to use common sense to pick your battles and know when to push the envelope.

They have come a long way in both style and comfort with Depends undergarments. Is that not an option
If astronauts use them, why can't we?
