[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 955815, member: 22880"] What was commonly done when I was a Courier and forced into these situations (extended split shift).... 1) Make one's last stop 2) Inform dispatch that your are going to "shuttle" into the station since you are "out of work to do" 3) Go into a shuttle time code 4) After securing the truck at the station, inform dispatch that you had arrived safely and were starting your break 5) End on road time code 5) Go on break (13) At that point you are free to use your personal vehicle and do what you want - you are on [U]your time[/U]. Upon completing break... 6) End break on powerpad (14) 7) Go into an "on road" then shuttle time code 8) Inform dispatch you're back from break 9) Right before you make your first stop, go into "on road" again. Management HATED this, but there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it. They can't keep you "hostage" next to your vehicle for 2+ hours while not paying you. They have to pay you (shuttle code) while you drive back into your station, then drive back out to your route area. Express pays for "2 stem times" as a consequence of their not having work for you (in to your station at the end of your first shift, out back to your area at the start of your second shift). The "benefit" to your station management in you're using a shuttle code going in for your break then coming back out to your route area, is that their on road time isn't accumulating - therefore the "stops per hour" clock isn't ticking. Your productivity isn't affected one bit by your doing this. In routes that are really distant from the station, most managers look the other way when it comes to your using the truck for non-work purposes if and when you are on an extended break. However, since mileage is entered, you have to be careful just how many miles are entered between the time when you start your break and finish it - those miles do show up. Talk to the swings in your station - they know how to play the game since they are used to working a partial AM route (P1 only) then taking a split, then doing an afternoon pick-up route. [/QUOTE]
