[QUOTE="stuck in the brown cult, post: 1005207, member: 42796"] We go though this usually in the winter when slow. They say all meal must be taken, then we get busy and they beg people to work thru their lunch. I come to work to make money and any time I have to sit and not get paid I'm not making money. Also everyone has their own routine and when you add more than an hour to the day now cut times are missed, pickups can't be made, trucks aren't back for the next driver and everyone is pissed. Why they insist on stirring the pot I will never know. They think that if they require meal they save 50min payroll but in reality it cost them more if I take meal. A 10min break can take 20 to 25 minutes by the time I slow down, exit the highway, sit through a couple lights, find a parking spot, inspect the equipment when I come back out, pull out and wait in traffic, get back to the highway and get up to speed now you do this 3 times a day and I'm getting 1.5 hours more OT plus not having to make 1 of my pickups. Down side is I'm away from the house 14.5 hrs instead of 12 hrs. This is the flavor of the month. It to shall pass. [/QUOTE]
