We were told that we are now required to take a 1 hour break after we deliver our last p1 stop. So if you get your last p1 off at 1015, you have to begin your break after. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this ridiculous new rule.....
First, see if your state has a law mandating a break within a certain time after starting work. If they do, see if this policy conforms. Second, WAD, and do exactly as they ask, because it will almost certainly backfire on them. Consider the scenario where you have P1 until 1015, but are killed with SO and P2. Take your full hour, and then leisurely complete the rest of your route, making sure you have plenty of late SO if at all possible. Also, since you have so much P2 and SO, fall behind on your pickups and request help immediately via the PowerPad so you're covered.
This would appear to be another strategy to cut non-productive time by making you take your lunch at their convenience when they think you do nothing but take Fred's money. As always, these blanket dictates will last until it's proven the "plan" is a failure.
