ODFL | Handheld

Ours has been in affect for a couple weeks. We were told by our TM We MUST TAKE 30 mins. before 6 and 8 hrs. Had sign sheet that we understand what this means.(we will be wrote up per our new safety manager). Now when I log out it "punches me out" for lunch no longer automatically takes out 30 min. One day lost track and was out 36 mins. Checked employee portal every night and took 36 mins. out, not complaining bc I was on break 36 mins. Just wanted people be aware of this. First week was taking automatically 30 mins plus time punch out on handheld. (1hour total) It's been fixed.
Where did the 6 hours come from?
 
I've heard they will no longer be taking the 30 min unless you punch out in the handheld. Did you guys receive the paper explaining it? If not I can post it. Still very confusing. Also it's not suppose to take effect until November 27th maybe not sure exact date but I believe after thanksgiving.
Talked to someone today.Starting the 27th.The handheld will be linked to payroll system&your punch in&out from lunch will go to payroll system.Don't know much else.Except was told here we will have to take lunch within 6 hours..Suppose to have meeting sometime before then.
 
Also something to think about.Testing Peoplenet software I have always been told that the handheld will be linked to Peoplenet system when they get to that point.

Yep that's what I thought the 27th. Did they give you guys the paper about it? I can post it when I get back today. It gives a little more info about it
 
This is nuts... I think much of the problem is every state has different labor laws. I would just have drivers take a lunch between 4-6 hours. That would cover OD in the states that require you to take a lunch and the ones that don't could do what they want.
 
Yea neither have just the paper sitting out for us to take lol. Probably a little where you are have probably 10 times as many drivers as we do .. only 7 of us where I'm at
We due for our monthly safety,OS&D meeting .Prob be next Tuesday morning will hear more for sure.Im for it.Anything to guarantee my lunch within 8 hours.Always hated when they exempted the local on the 8 hour rule.
 
Maybe you can see it clear enough. This is what we were giving.

So the REST BREAKS will not be deducted, but the LUNCH/MEAL STOP will.?
The times for the rest breaks and the lunch/meal stops are very close. Why not take them all together. Ever try to find a place to park, buy some hot food and eat/relax in 30min and not be disturbed by dispatch.
