Unlikely.
I don’t think it works that way.

If you are on company property or in a company vehicle, you are covered. My wife got hit by a car at her job walking to the employee entrance and Workmans Comp covered her injuries. If you are on break, you are still technically on the clock because break hrs count for hour violations.

No drama on my end. Just enjoying retirement and laughing at people that don't know fact from fiction.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

Holy egomaniacal micro managing senior manager! My manager got written up because I wasn’t given an OLCC for the first violation. There were two.
While my mgr believes in exercising managerial discretion (i.e. just discussing it) the SM is a by the book machine. Never mind that the same hypocrite SM once told me during a hectic pm sort to disregard an imminent break violation so I could stay and help.

Actually yes, we all do. And it’s the vets who encouraged it at first. Been going on for years.

Be sure to take your full break during peak season too, even if they say only 30min required after 8. If he wants to be by-the-book, two can play that game.

Exactly. Deprive yourself of time with your family! Get home 30 minutes later without pay!

How so? Have to be back in time for the last pull, that’s 30 minutes less work to do before bringing freight back to the building!

No, what I'm saying is if the SM wants to strictly enforce every rule, then it should be strictly enforced all year long. Not just when it's convenient for him.
You are entitled to a break and there are labor laws of course concerning that. If doing pup rte tell dispatch you are going on break and won’t make x pups on time. Then do it. It will get fixed.
As long as drivers bow down nothing will change concerning breaks.They can’t make you work without a break.

The rule is subject to change.
As for me, if there's a rule that I don't like and they're going to change it in my favor for a while, I believe I'd like it.

Just telling it like it is
How about the workforce changing a few rules then?
Uh, we don’t want to wait until the end of sort to leave the building. “We’ll now leave when we feel we have enough freight instead.”

The rules don't change, just the decision to enforce them to fit their needs.
And the break rule is not changed in your favor. You actually think couriers will get home 30min earlier during peak if they are allowed a 30min break after 8 hours?

The 60 min rule hasn’t been enforced at my station in YEARS. I cannot even remember the last time I took anything over 30.
