[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1226796, member: 42554"] No, but it's obviously worse in some areas than others. The problem with this "mindset" is that if I show up at a meet point and my driver isn't there but his expected time is around that time I could just wait a bit for him/her to show up or go on meal. If I'm on meal, I'm not coming off until the entire time is used up even if these are 'hot' loads. That could be an hour to an hour and a half if I use both breaks and take a half our or hour meal. Easy to make those loads late if they want to push it. If I wait and the driver doesn't show up for 2-3 hours, I can leave immediately and push it to get back on time & they can code the meal later during that TA time. It's just give and take. It's not reasonable to expect me to take my meal in the middle of nowhere without a bathroom or restaurant where we usually have our TA's. It's also not reasonable for me to floor it with no stops til the TA just so I can sit for 2 hours. If it's not the Driver gaming the system it's usually poor planning on the part of Dispatch, especially with overflows, that creates gaps in TA points. [/QUOTE]
