[QUOTE="Pachiquin, post: 1050277, member: 32115"] Thank you for your prompt response. I had just read this new law which led me to believe that a driver MUST take a 30 minute break at 8 hours and may not "be onroad" over 11 hours. About a third of the drivers in our center [B]are working 10 to 13 1/2 hours straight through [/B]and not resting after 8 hours. Honestly, it benefits me to just work straight through (often over 12 hours without one second of break time) and just take all of my breaks at the end. My only reservation about this is the issue of driver fatigue and the resulting decrease in safety. So it sounds like I can just hammer it out for 13 hours in a row M-Th and get off early on Fri. In a reasonable world, management would enforce taking a break in the middle and not work us over 12 hours, but our management team (read I.E.) is not reasonable. Did I mention that I make a lot of money? [/QUOTE]
