[QUOTE="40andOut, post: 1164415"] It might be good to brush up on laws and regulations concerning breaks and meal periods; A Bona fide meal period (normally unpaid lunch) must be compensated (paid for time) if UPS requires you to do anything, including staying by your truck awaiting a meet point with another driver, this would be considered being engaged in waiting (paid) vs waiting to be engaged (unpaid). UPS drivers are mobile crews. As such UPS must allow prompt access to nearby toilet facilities. UPS must also allow you to drive to the toilet facilities when you need to go. In addition to the regulations below many States have laws allowing restroom breaks each and every 4 hr period worked.
