Me too. Are we thinking of the same sup? Last name ends with "d"?
The last few years of my career, I brought my lunch to work, because I thought if I leave midday, I wouldn't come back.
My district manager was nice enough to stop by my office on ocassion and invite me to lunch with other staff/division managers. I politely declined citing my reason as stated above.
Now ask me to go for a drink after work, well to me that was time well spent, a nice way to unwind at the end of the day.

Do you mean that you actually punch out and go home 1hr 20 minutes early, or you go to the house before you drive back to the center?
3 day ride? Sounds unusual to me, when all that is required is a one day safety ride. Unmless you were due for a swm ride, which would push it to 2. Please be careful out there, my brother.

Judgment involved to some extent but it seem like you would go on lunch after you break trace to go to lunch and then clock back in when you pick up trace again.....just make sure you clock off for lunch as soon as you get back in your pkg. car the last stop before lunch and you clock back in when you stop your pkg. car in front of your first stop after lunch......

I would think that if you break trace to do something personal, you are relieved from duty.
Lawyers could have fun with this.

As in everything we discuss here at the Cafe, it depends on your UPS franchise. My on-road told me the other day, as he was instructing (harassing) me, that as soon as I break trace, lunch starts. Since I eat at restaurants on my route everyday, I've just worked it out so that where I end up eating, is on trace.

We actually have a couple of drivers who will punch out on the road to avoid going over 9.5 and will drive the remaining distance to the center off the clock.

My last stop of the day is my house where I code off my lunch/breaks as soon as I turn off the truck in my driveway. We aren't harrassed (lately anyways) about lunch/breaks in the contractually obligated times. On Fridays I usually take my 2 ten's and then cut my hour all together so I can get home that much earlier. We do not get docked our lunch if we don't take it.
I assumed that since the class-action lawsuit about getting docked for lunches went through that the company policy changed about lunchs. I know they want you to take them (OSHA/DOT and all that crap) but I'm curious that if there are still some centers around the country that dock you an hour if you don't put it in the board. We have been getting verbals about it but so far no one has gotten a written.
