Why wouldnt you break the rules to qualify? I did. I spent 30+ days running faster than i should, organizing my car before start time, and skipping breaks.
Then after i qualified... i stopped

You haven't demonstrated the ability to take a full lunch in your entire career.
Yet you are about to retire.
You are the last person to say a word about anything relating to performance or methods.

Wasn't replying to you. @Analbumcover mentioned delivering during lunch if allowed by your building. The problem is that you never know when they will change their standards. It was just a general warning. I agree that sorting during lunch can be helpful during qualifying, and, unless they are watching, they can't prove you are doing it.
It is insane to give a Multi-Billion Corporation an extra $54.00 everyday by working off the clock, and down right stupid to give them $108

I took a full lunch every day this past week.

At my center we had to have 3 days of scratch in a row to qualify. Of course they waited until the last week to inform us. We all made it and we all did the 3rd day on a Saturday.

our center its not "technically" required but if in reality by the book its actually required but our center manager can just pass you along if he feels you can be good.
if beating scratch wasn't required then whats the point of qualifying if all i have to prove is i can take a lunch and break properly

I can't imagine trying to qualify at today's ups, especially if you are required to follow Orion.

Are you sure you want to punch out?
Shouldn’t the advice be to set her up for a career. She won’t have a career if she doesn’t make it through the 30. Regardless of what we think of the profession, that isn’t the question asked. She wants to be a driver at UPS.
It’s very simple, during the 30 there’s some good advice here and do SAFELY what you need to do to get through. Come in early to make sure you are setup for the day, organize again through the day and stay organized. In my area you need to scratch before the 30 are up.
Once you get in then you can worry about working off the clock, it’s easy to berate others when you’re setup in this job, earning top rate. Listen to the Union advice once you actually have a secure position.

I've done it everyday for years (except 2 days a month when I have an 8 hour req in, then only a half hour)
What about your PAID breaks you have been giving away for 25 years? How much money did you give them back?

We get a 10 minute paid break and I normally spend mine sitting at one of my drop boxes.

I consider my job to be my career. I will have just over 29 years when I hang 'em up in June.
That being said, this is no longer a 30 year job and very few newbies will make this their career.
You are foolish for using it like that. Doesn't your supplement/rider have something about when to take the break? We get 3 10 mins every day and the first one is between 11:00 and 11:30 everyday
