Up until 2 years ago I lived on my route, and I would go home and have lunch. With my wife. While the kids were in school. And the house was empty. So the question for me is not "what" did I do, but "who"....

Lunch break is so nice!! I usually stop at a park and lay on a bench under a shady tree. When I was covering for other drivers, I used to hope for a route close to the house where I could stop by for some AC, family, & Around The Horn/PTI.
I'm a believer in the whole take your break when you're supposed to. I heard, however, that if we were to take our paid 15 straight after our unpaid half, we could get a chat with the CM and the Stew. Is that true? If not, I'm taking 45 consecutive everyday! | |

I regularly take 45 (lunch/pd 15) and I have never had a T/W about.

For years while I was in running shape I would job 4-6 miles on lunch break.I would usually take break at the end of the day.One time a Upper mgt reported me jogging at the track (seeing my truck parked) to my CM...The CM took up for be by saying "you want these guys to stay in shape don't you.He clocks out for the break"...It's rare to get a CM to take up for you anymore.....Rest is for the weak! | |

Hoo ha! I can relate to that scenario. I live on my route, so I go home for lunch every day. Saves me a ton of money. And yes, I too have left on many an occasion with a smile on my face and "dead legs."

15 minutes in the morning, 30 mid-day, and 15 near the end. I use the 10 minute break for potty stops.
My 30 minute break is usually taken at home. I'll spend the time eating (something lite) while I surf the net, BC (Not BC Fan). On the super hot days I'll hop in the shower and change into a fresh uniform.
