[QUOTE="SmithBarney, post: 2169572, member: 709"] If the freight is late and they are trying to force break, you need to go to your manager and state "I won't be going on break, do you have something for me to do." Company Policy states you must not take your break in your first hour or last hour. Because a break is meant as a REST period during the day, to enable you to REST so that you may be focused on doing your job SAFELY and effectively... you know so you don't kill anyone.:yawn2: In most cases your manager will tell you to do something like check your trucks supplies, or other trucks.. Now part two of your question if you are a DEL/PUP driver try to take your break between DEL and PUPS, but its not always possible. There are a few tricks you can do, some might be questionable(holding walkups until you "have a chance" to process them) another hint is head to the nearest gas station(maybe the 2nd nearest lower prices?) and fill up during this down time, your Fueling code allows for a certain amount of time(not sure how much) but it will help fill the gap so you won't need to take a break, don't forget to go inside the gas station because the Receipt didn't print at the pump..;) Hope these help.
