Before the powerpad we were able to scan packages and deliver while we put our break in. So to discourage that behavior they said if you were driving during your break then anything that happens was you responsibility. Once the first powerpad came out, that eliminated scanning during break time. Also when the first gap report came out they found out certain couriers had gaps of 10 - 20 mins before and after lunch breaks. When questioned the old time couriers stated that was the time it took to get to their favorite lunch place and back to their route Mangement quickly made clear that your driving to lunch should be part of your break.Therefore any accident while you are in a Fedex truck would be treated the same on a break or not.</p></blockquote><p></p>
