[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1582857, member: 8481"] Probably? How about definitely. And if he is scheduled to take his meal at the meet point, that is where it is to be taken as long as there is a place to eat and has restroom facilities. A driver was scheduled to take his meal at his turn around. He was not doing that and was instructed to do so. That is what the schedule said. He continued to take it on his way back home. He was fired for stealing time. Got 4 weeks off, unpaid, and now takes his meal as scheduled. Here is why per the state panel. At his turn around, he loses no time for meal. After he drops his trailers, he hits meal and goes to the break room. When his meal is over, he hooks his set and then leaves. His meal is 30 minutes and that is all he gets. When he was stopping on the way back, it took him time to get off the highway, get parked, and then get back onto the highway after his meal. It was taking him an extra 15 minutes to get back to where he was on the highway over and above his 30 minute meal. He was fired for stealing 15 minutes everyday. He was doing the same thing for his break an hour later. A 10 minute break turned into 20 minutes to get back to where he was on the highway. UPS cannot do anything about the break, but they fired him for the meal. UPS is trimming fat to reduce costs. And they are aggressively going after people for stealing time. [/QUOTE]
