[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1165640, member: 42691"] What I don't understand, and no one has given us an answer, is why we need to take our 30 minute meal not later than 7 hour, 25 minute mark. But the DOT rules say you have to take the meal, NO LATER than the 8TH hour. To some, that might not seem like much, but to many of us night drivers, stretching that extra 35 minutes is an extra 35 miles down the road. I drive about 450 miles a night. It sounds like UPS is being paranoid about the rules, and adding their own guidelines. Why? Who knows? Our feeder manager told us that anyone violating will be suspended for one day for the first violation. Zero tolerance, is what he told us. I don't care, because I always follow DOT rules. But we've already had a mileage guy violate. We'll see if he gets that one day off. [/QUOTE]
