The key words here ,nope.....you take lunch where you want per DOT regs
per DOT regs
Hourly and staff nonexempt employees are required to take a minimum of 30 minutes off duty as a meal period during each shift in which the employee works 6.00 or more hours. For example, if an employee works a shift of exactly 6.00 hours, he/she should have taken a compliant meal period within that shift.
Ive never had to take lunch before collecting my delay. I would always hit one of the truckstops on my way back to take lunch after i got my delay. Argued about it due to it seemed they were forcing me to take lunch on their time instead of me having choice when i wanted to eatIf you’re on a hub turn you need to( supposed to) take your lunch before you collect delay. I’m not sure if you have to if you’re just working the dock for 8 hours because there’s no other work available. I’ve never heard of anyone being forced to take lunch on a shuttle run. Maybe some douche is trying to watch the dock payroll?
Did it work? Do you still take your meal break off their premises????Ive never had to take lunch before collecting my delay.

I’m on a shuttle run to the hub. It takes 2 hr to get there. it’s around 5 hours from the time I gated from my center and the time Im dispatched from the hub. Do I have to take a break at the hub either when I arrived ( which is 2 hrs ) or do I have to take a break at the 5th hr ( when I’m dispatched)? Or, can I break somewhere else after I hate out?The question isn't clear enough to provide a concise answer. Is this a shuttle run or a hub turn? Is he asking about delay pay or is the freight ready, but he has to take a break? It also varies by state. California rules and general rules are different.
If it's a hub turn, then the answer is no. You don't have to take a break at the hub. You don't even have to put in a break when you decide to stop. You can log it as "on duty not driving". I put in delay 30 minutes after my arrival time because they pay me 30 minutes for dropping and I'll usually just stay in "yard moves" because I forget to change it and some times I'll decide to drive to the snack machine.
If it's a shuttle, see what I posted above about kronos.
