[QUOTE="soberups, post: 561750, member: 14668"] [b]Re: ******* warning letters[/b] In my area these questions have always been resolved on a "case-by-case" basis. A driver on a mall route or in a crowded metro area with an ample supply of public restrooms and places to eat should not have the right to break trace and drive off area while on the clock. A driver on a rural route, on the other hand, [I]must[/I] be given some leeway in this regard. He needs to be able to use a bathroom and wash his hands, and this might entail driving a reasonable distance off trace depending upon the area and how far away a public restroom is. UPS made a business decision to provide delivery service to rural areas and paying for the time taken to drive to a bathroom is part of the cost of doing business there. Unfortunately, under the rigid yoke of Telematics....there is no being "reasonable" or resolving these issues on a case-by-case basis any more. The company wants to micromanage every minute and every mile, with no flexibility whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
