[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1600348, member: 8481"] Feeder drivers have been fired for this. The ones I know of have got their jobs back, but lost a few weeks pay. A little different than package car drivers, but do this in feeders and it is a DOT violation. You cannot drive after being on duty for 8 hours without taking a 30 minute rest period. Feeder drivers have started their meal and then moved their tractor, hooked sets up or moved dollies while on their meal. So in the eyes of the DOT, they are not on meal since they were not relieved of all responsibilities of the tractor, job, trailers, etc. for 30 minutes. They then finished their meal and continued driving. Once they reached 8 hours of on duty time, they were in violation of DOT rules, since they did not take a full 30 minute rest period. It was mainly mileage drivers. They were dropping and hooking, moving dollies on their meal so that they could get back home sooner. [/QUOTE]
