[QUOTE="NHDRVR, post: 595214, member: 10327"] In Northern NE, (correct me if I am wrong folks) the contract says each driver in an 8 hour period will be provided a 60 minute lunch and two 10 minute breaks. It DOESN'T say we have to TAKE them, only that they be provided. This has been twisted by our managment staff to mean we are obligated to take the 60 minutes a day if we are going to be held to the contract. I don't pretend to know our contract/supplemental through and through but as grown men and women if we choose to not take a lunch, or part of it, then please leave me alone when I do it. I have my reasons for needing to squeeze out a bit early and 99.99% of the time it's related to my children. To be fair.... My on-road and center manager have never, ever, given me a hard time about doing this since I do it about once a week (usually Friday) and I get the feeling (TieGuy?) that this is only a problem when they are getting heat from above. My boss, in his own world, could care less if I take a lunch or not. He just doesn't want any accidents or injuries... fair enough... [/QUOTE]
