[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1418063, member: 8481"] Where I am at, we are instructed to take our meal before 8 hours no matter what. DOT says you cannot "drive" after working 8 hours without taking a 30 minute rest period, but UPS is telling us, even if you get back to the building before 8 hours, you still need to take your meal before the 8 hour mark. What you did is not a DOT violation, but, where I am at, could result in a warning letter for failure to follow. They even went one step further. We were told that, even if we work actual, less than 8 hours, we still have to take a 30 minute meal. I have done it twice in the last couple of months, worked 5 hours for one reason or another, and did not show a meal. I got yelled at but nothing happened. I told my boss that I was not going to get back to my building after working 5 hours, take a 30 minute meal that I don't get paid for and then go home. I did not work 8 hours so I am not required to show a meal. He said that some airhead big wig came up with the idea that everyone has to take a meal, before the 8th hour, no matter what. This sounds like a ploy to make his job easier. He won't have to check the reports of drivers not taking a meal and verify that they did not work or drive past the 8th hour. Another management person that could not make it as a driver. [/QUOTE]
