[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1164495, member: 32753"] Your example sounds extreme, but in most cases drivers may go up to a half mile for a suitable location for lunch. This is to compensate for the fact that our lunch cannot begin until we are no longer in charge of the truck. Your dispatch, time study, and planned day should all account for this. OTOH, you may need to.do some tweaking. Perhaps there is an area with food stops, but currently you get there before the third and fifth hour (or whatever parameters have been set in your supplement). Maybe you should, or they'll have you, do another area-say the one you'd normally do immediately after-and then come back to the area where the food is, so when you finish it and it is time for lunch, the company is not hit with as much dead time.
