[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1764098, member: 52978"] probably my last 20 years in feeders, I never took a lunch hour per se. Upper management would come out and say every few months that we were required to take it, but the guy sitting at the window could choose to ignore that order, and they did, every dispatcher I had. It sure makes it easier on dispatch. Tractor assignments are easier. He knows a hot load isn't sitting at a whataburger somewhere while the hub is blowing up his phone wanting to know where their load is. Bottom line is and the point that mattered most to me, is it was an hour more a day I got to stay at home, in my bed, sleeping, or hanging with the wife or kids. And an hour less I got to hang around and put up with their silly rules and hot topic of the day. This 30 minute break mandated by the DOT is one you can't get around, right? It came into effect after I retired, so I'm not sure how its being handled. [/QUOTE]
