[QUOTE="pickup, post: 543933"] That's a good question . Where are the boundaries when it comes to feeders? I've never tested them. I usually try to take my lunch at a hub/center that I've arrived at. I am usually flexible with my dispatch, if they got a hot run to be covered when I was planning to take my lunch. I will cover it for them and take my lunch a little later. I work with them and they work with me. We have an ivis(it is like a watered down version of the DIAD) in our vehicles where we indicate we are starting our lunches. Or we can use the ivis found at the dispatch window of any hub/center. They want it to be one hour on the dot (not to be confused with D.O.T.) if we go over by a minute or so, it is unpaid until we get entered into the ivis that we are back on duty. Sometimes, there will be a small line at the ivis at a hub (guys punching in, etc) so you might lose that minute, big deal. For me , when I "punch" that ivis that is when lunch starts. The hub cafeteria might be a minute's walk from where I am but that is my minute, not theirs. I am happy to walk for a bit anyway. If I am on an interstate in transit and if I am particularly pulling an empty(nobody is waiting for that empty at the destination), I will stop at a rest area. I won't go 10 extra feet off the highway to pick a more desirable restaurant. I don't want any trouble and parking issues usually indicate the rest area is the suitable place to park my tractor/trailer. [/QUOTE]
