[QUOTE="Artee, post: 4499909, member: 24351"] Its been over 20 years since I have been a courier, so maybe things are different now, but back then when on lunch break we could drive a reasonable amount of miles from our area to get something to eat and back. Say 10 miles. Being on lunch is not "off the clock". You are off the clock when you punch out at the end of the day right? I could understand if in the evening he went back to the barn, clocked out, and then got back in a FDX vehicle and went out to dinner. We have had a driver or two who worked nights, would come in a few hours before their shifts, get all their stuff, their tractor/trailer and take off to watch their kids sporting events in the evenings and then head off to the stations to do their nighttime pulls to the hub. I imagine they clocked in at the DGO station when they got there or just wrote in their time and had management ok it the next day. Management knew and said they were covered by insurance or they would not be allowing it. [/QUOTE]
