True, but in this job I drive 5+ hrs out and then turn and burn for about 10.5 a day. It's the easiest job I've ever had and can eat "lunch" at any time I wish. Haveing to take a break in the first 8hr is not really when I need it. With that being said I now sit at the shipper for a half hr and get home a half hr later.Originally Posted by Copperhead
I agree that the 30 min mandate thing is just nanny state stuff, but I find it truly amazing how drivers are so averse to the idea. In any other profession, if you did not give the employees at least a 30 min lunch break in 8hrs, there would be almost a riot. And there would be armed insurection if an employer had their employees work 11 hrs without a lunch break. When one steps back and looks at the big picture, some of this prattle looks so amusing.
