[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1418437, member: 52978"] About once every 6 months there would be a posting in dispatch. "you MUST take an hour meal during your shift every day." Signed by a feeder manager. This was before the 30 minute DOT rule. Well, they left it up to the dispatchers, who I got along with mostly. The guy I shared tractors with would be walking out when I was heading to the fuel island. If I took an hour meal every day, the guy I share with would have to wait an hour at SW. I asked dispatch, "do you want me to take a meal, or get back in time.?" Needless to say, my last 20 years with the company, I never took an hour meal on the clock. We never had enough feeder equipment to allow the luxury to do it the right way. In this case, the supervisor (dispatcher) could trump a manager's wishes, because if a guy stood around for an hour to get into a tractor and his load was an hour late leaving, the first one they would bitch at was the dispatcher. Fine with me, I'd rather get home an hour earlier and make the same money. [/QUOTE]
