[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 614687, member: 13254"] UPS only cares if we comply with any law if there is a chance we will get caught or if it fits in with UPS's other "rules". In the OP, the first two sentences of the memo that DB posted are contradictory unless you can stop the truck immediately when breaking trace. If you have to drive [U]any[/U] distance from your trace to take meal time, your truck can't be moved. The yoyo that wrote this memo has no sense, period. Also, if I remember correctly from another thread about trace, as long as you are making the stops in order you are not technically breaking trace regardless of how many miles you drive. If we want to be honest about this situation it's clear that the new mandate (ok not so new, just revived) is not to comply with the Fed Law, the trace or any contractual rules. This is to make it harder for the driver to take a meal time at their choosing. The company wants to dictate how every second of the drivers paid day is spent and it damn well better be delivering or picking up packages. If the company could get away with it they would try to get out of paying the driver for time spent driving from one stop to the next. [/QUOTE]
