[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1170711, member: 32753"] CACH, forgive me for lumping you in with some others if you are just giving advice. I respect that, I want that, as I learn from you guys or am made to think more than I may show sometimes. However, those who are ready to call down the DOT and mgmt on some guy who is sorting, or who skips their lunch but is off the clock in less than 8 hrs-whether or not they are in a bonus center-need to think about their motives. You aren't going to help anyone get a job, or even have management get off your back. It is often not a secret who the gunners are, and it should not be difficult to swoosh away any comparison they may try to push involving you vs a gunner. As for a desperate person, again more often than not these people need help understanding how things work, so that they can understand they don't have to be so desperate. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more desperate drivers than there are gunners, and a simple education on how to run their routes will have them doing what they are supposed to. However, those who skip lunch [I]and[/I] stay out way late, or even 9.5, are doing themselves a disservice, and may even be more or less "coerced" into doing so. That's who the DOT is looking for if they do observe anyone, and it will be fairly discernible in a simple conversation what is going on. [/QUOTE]
