There is another side to this argument. As an On Car Sup I would prefer that my drivers take more personal time. I can't count the times a customer wanted a later pickup on occasion and the driver is already at the gas pumps at 4:15 p.m. and he took no lunch. Calling the customer back and telling them I will get them a pick up but it might be later because another driver will be coming off area is not a phone call I like to make. This gives the customer an option to move the much needed volume to FedEx. If the actual route driver would have taken a lunch we could service the customer that funds wages and pensions.The problem lies not with catching the drivers. The problem lies with the center management team not wanting to slow down their top earners for them. So they would know, but they would also not do anything about it. All it would be is a feel good about it thing.

So congrats to the big bonus driver. Because you felt the need to run an gun all day you managed to actually drive home and eat supper "on the clock" becaue you racked up two hours of bonus. You also made your managment team scamble to cover your pickup, you put your self at a greater risk of injury and accidents, you made your driving partners do your work(They probably didnt want to go home and see their families anyway) and you exposed our company to the possibilties of losing revenue at a time when we should all be fighting for every package.
As a managment person I say you should take your lunch, its better for everyone.
