FedEx Freight | Lunch Breaks

[Chigger]

Does anyone know if this is true? A driver told me in CHR that if you get 6 wright ups for forgetting to put your lunch break on your logs, you would be fired. Of coarse 6 write ups is a lot. But really, is this all they have to worry about. It would be nice if we all could work together and quit biting at each others neck.

what if you don't stop for lunch, i just got my cdl last week, if i am over the road do i have to stop for lunch or can i just eat a sandwitch out of the cooler and just keep rolling or do i have to stop and log out for that hour?

Take a 1/2 Hr lunch between your 3rd and 6th hour. Go up to line 1 on your comic book and write LUNCH BREAK. This is a FXN policy and don't fight it, or you'll lose! I don't know about 6 "pieces of TP" and taking long vacation, but I wouldn't try them! But, "Hey, look at the bright side", if you don't know what you're doing, can't read or pay attention, "you could get promoted to Central Dispatch" :/

I don't know if it's true but with the way things are going around here it would not surprise me at all. I try to show it wether I take it or not, oh I forgot that is falsifying logs, scratch that last statement.

How can you "forget" 6 times anyway? If you do, you should be fired for being stupid..lol

oldslowchevy, this is a company requirement, not DOT. It has to do with a select few states having a requirement for companies to give their workers a lunch break. FedEx just made it a company wide requirement to cover all the bases.

The six strikes is six writeups for what ever. logs, lunches, tickets, being a dick etc. They roll off your record but I for got if its monthly or what. Make sure your lunch on your log matches the computer and u will be ok.
