[QUOTE="soberups, post: 954727, member: 14668"] This is one of those issues that will never have a one-size-fits all answer. The company has every right to expect the driver to be productive whenever he/she is on the clock. The company also has every right to expect the employee [I]not[/I] to use the company vehicle, fuel and time for "personal" reasons. However..... The employee [I]also[/I] has every right to the periodic use of clean restroom facilities, and to take his/her lunch in a suitable location. In rural areas, that may involve breaking trace. If the employee chooses to take his/her lunch in the vehicle...particularly in order to avoid running up unnecessary mileage...he/she has every right to idle the vehicle [I]as needed[/I] in order to provide heat during the winter. It isnt reasonable for the employee to drive anywhere he/she wants to on company time. It also isnt reasonable for the company to tell the employee that he/she has to pee in the bushes and eat lunch in an unheated vehicle during freezing winter weather. [/QUOTE]
