[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 838071, member: 18225"] Sometimes it does matter. I cover a few routes that are straight business - there just isn't time to take lunch during the contractually agreed upon window. Doing so would lead to missed business savers, missed pickups, maybe even missed regular business deliveries. It's clear that the route drivers take their lunch after everything's delivered and picked up, or there is no way these routes would have ended up the way they are. By taking lunch outside the contract window, it's allowing UPS to max the route(s) out to the nth degree instead of adding in additional routes. I suppose that on a straight residential route it wouldn't matter when you take your lunch, but for the most part it plays into UPS's favor when lunch is taken outside the contract window. Bingo.
