[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 803043, member: 4653"] I have mixed feelings about this one because it does benefit UPS because routes that would miss businesses because of the hour lunch between the 4th and the 5th hour. However, it would GREATLY benefit myself because I would be home an hour earlier every night and actually eat dinner at dinner time, see my kids ptactice or game, go to the bank, etc.. I would rather extend my day from 835 am to 735 am than from 630pm to 730 pm. What's wrong with that? Like Browned up said, we still get our hours. How is any driver getting the short end of the stick by doing this? I still have two ten minute breaks to take through out the day and all the down time waiting for pick-ups to get ready to give me enough time to eat and rest. I believe the hour lunch is analogous to an hour of solitary confinement. I don't like it. To sit there in the cold and do absolutely nothing is not for me. Its ridiculous. 5 hours a week, 260 hours a year of doing nothing. I give enough time to this company, I can do with out the extra 260 hours of unpaid time away from home if its allowed and possible... [/QUOTE]
