When they screw you at peak take yiur lunch right at your third hour and they will be screwed.If I were to take my lunch between 12 and 1:00 and I'm gonna have a late night where I punch out after 9pm I have to take another 30min of unpaid break. This is the stupidest thing I have heard of.
It just shows how many people aren't taking lunches or breaks or putting them down and working through them....It cracks me up the number of people that are like oh this shouldn't apply to us. Why?
Take your break (you should anyway). It's really simple. Outside of peak I've taken my full (hour) break 99% of the time for 3+ years.
This won't kill ups. All it means is they will have to set up routes how they should of been set up all along.

UPS has lots of clout, this will kill them, I see it gone in 30-60 days..................
They said yeah right DOT has better things to do than check if I took break.
DOT better be willing to fine or this will be ignored. Heard lots of complaining today.
Even heard a few say if I'm over so many stops I'm not taking it. I said well I'm not sure who pays the fine ups or u. They said how would they even know. I said u record it all in your board. They said yeah right DOT has better things to do than check if I took break.
They are not allowed to, but yea, it could happen......Our PCM was mostly aimed at the runners. They were told that if they made it back to the bldg. under 8 they could take their lunch at the bldg. I assume they are letting them go and punching them out in 1/2hr.
I personally think, and I could be wrong, that it was only meant for vehicles with 3 axles. I think someone at UPS dropped the ball when they said it was for package drivers. Just a buzz I heard. From a reliable source.............................
$11k company, $2750 driver. Let them shine it off and get caught. It'll only happen once.

Now we all have a $2750 reason to take our lunch...
