[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 1162844, member: 1944"] Yea, it will. It will also open up slots for more drivers. It will cost UPS more, and it will cause us to earn more money and pay more in taxes. That is why it was done. Its no big secret that many took no breaks at all, just to get home. x number of drivers increasing their pay by 1.5 to 4 hrs a week, because they have been cutting corners every way they could to get off at a decent hour. There is no way to cheat it, we were told people will be checking, so not to mention the reams of paper for those reports. During that one half hour, you wheels cant move, your diad cannot be used. And it looks like you cannot take the diad and put yourself back in service, then go back on lunch, when someone comes to your truck and asks for a pkg. It says it must be consecutive. Time will tell. I thought I was in romper room when this was announced. The crying.............. I lost sleep over it myself. I never took all mine at once, but I took it. Mostly after 5. I guess by the time it gets dark at 5, I will have figured out how to get those bad areas off. Otherwise, I guess I will be marking them emergency condition, not safe at night. That will be another thread, probably from a fired toonertoo. [/QUOTE]
