[QUOTE="Str8right72, post: 3667437, member: 68210"] It’s important for members to realize that your break is an important dispatch tool. When ORION was implemented they were up front in telling us that for every 5.something(don’t remember the exact number) drivers that took their breaks at the end of the day that would result in a cut route. That’s not factoring in the drivers who don’t even take it or get paid to work through it. So you can imagine the number of man hours per day in extra commercial stops that these members are doing. Over x amount of time that alone is costing full time driving jobs . Management is deathly afraid of a lunch break taken by the book. If we all did it their hand would be forced to give us our routes back. The amount of missed commercial stops would be too much to handle. It would take a while and some real dedication but I truly believe that this is a good starting and rallying point for us to finally unite and start a tangible recovery from what has been a pretty bad beating mentally and physically for a lot of members. Some may be doing things that they shouldn’t because they just don’t know and others knowingly break down conditions. It’s never too late to change. Spread the good word. Believe me after a few million dollars a day lost nationwide in missed pieces you will get out earlier and do less work because they won’t be able to jack you 20 or 25 stops extra of commercial work.
