[QUOTE="eats packages, post: 5136883, member: 68137"] Our language only covers 1 mile for lunch and I think it's fair to only deliberately drive out of your way to somewhere personal just once. Especially when on top of a myrid of other exceptions (finding a restroom, getting water, finding shelter from the heat, which is state law now, and otherwise getting the vehicle into a safe park position for all of 15 minutes) .25 miles likely won't seal away anything at a panel hearing. Our local practice make travelling while on lunch a big nono because it is subtracted from DOT hours of availability but they do not subtract breaks from DOT (they can, they just choose not to) so there is a little bit of wiggle room to travel while on break but I would still advise against it. tldr ask your stewards and BA about this and they will likely tell you to punch break when you shut the truck off. not while travelling. but they may have special rules and advice for WHY you are travelling before a break. This was flavor of the month a year or so ago, on a seperate forum post, [/QUOTE]
