[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 866445, member: 18225"] Amen. It turns out, it's surprisingly easy. There's a large window in which to take your lunch, depending on the route, etc. etc...just take it. The mental and physical 'break' are priceless. As drivers, we don't control the (over) dispatch, the endless add/cuts, the kamikaze missions we're sent on daily. Just take your full lunch when you're supposed to, and let the chips fall where they may. As far as I know, no one has ever been fired for following the rules. Harassed, maybe, but when your management team gives you a set of guidelines to follow (at the same time they set you up for failure because they are themselves trying to fit 8lbs of s&%T in a 5lb bucket), just follow the guidelines. It really is that easy: just take your lunch when you're supposed to. Half the time my management team is running around like headless chickens because there are so, so many fires to put out (none of which have anything to do with you taking your lunch). Forget about the 'numbers' and just work as quickly and efficiently and safely as you can. [/QUOTE]
