You are allowed to go to the bathroom but she extend that time by shopping that's a different story.
And I'm sure you do this more than one time or nobody will probably have noticed
Termination for 5 minutes unpaid time

I mean if its true does that not hold merrit?
No I didn't. A sup told me they cant see the regular break next to "meal" anyways, which obviously wasn't true
It was not just me, it was a thing that drivers do if they need to fuel up, go to the bathroom, etc and then they grab a coffee or something on the way out. I guess now I know to mark it as paid break, which i didnt even know existed until today
You don't have to explain it to me I'm just telling you wherever you guys did set off some flags and brought attention to yourselves
Right... And so what happens in these types of situations? Anything to expect?
Be truthful and do not make excuses
Wouldn't hurt to give OSHA a call either. They can't deny you the ability to use a restroom.
That having been said, you say it was on your way to your route. I can't help but wonder why you felt the need to relieve yourself at a gas station instead of at the center...which must have been nearby if 10 other drivers got caught.

Don't listen to him. You will more than likely get your job back without back pay. You will probably be out of work for a few weeks.
I didn't need to go until I was on the road. Obviously would have went to the bathroom at center if I had the urge to at the time
hahah right 5 minutes of theft for having to go to the bathroom and grabbed a drink on the way out, equaling like 1 total minute of "theft". Man that really makes a huge difference i tell ya. Get your head out of your @$$. The sups have told me to drive with check engine lights on in the truck, to brush accidents under the rug, and I grabbed a drink when they did an observation ride in the truck and nothing was said.
Regardless, pretty obvious that theres a paid break option and to put that in there from now on. More curious as to know how it will play out from here or if there have been other situations you've seen like this
Thank you for the answer
Getting the drink on the way out is the main issue here, just so you know specifically what they took issue with.
But yeah..."theft"...lol That is rich coming from the same people who don't give a rat's ass if your preloader is dumber than cat turd. Or who expect you to be okay with coming back to load up half a bulk stop into your car halfway through the day because it wouldn't all fit in the morning. Or have you doing circles around town because the manifest order is all screwed up. It's the drink at the gas station that put you over. Lmfao

To them, theft of time is theft of time, it doesn't matter the duration. Things are slow, they used this as an opportunity to send a message to the rest of the drivers in your building. As PCM said, expect some time off with no back pay.

The bathroom is not theft. You are not required to code anything out for bodily functions.
The issue is buying personal things on company time.
The more up front and contrite you are, the better this will go for you. Make excuses, and fight the labor manager, and he’ll keep you gone for a while.
I have a feeling you’ll get your job back.
