Oh my God, I bow down to your royalty, McFly. I will tell my linehaul manager that I don’t need a break. That’ll go over like a lead balloon. Here’s my theory, I take a break every day. On my run I can take it in a number of small country folk communities. I enjoy talking with the locals. By the way I don’t need to thump my chest telling everyone how long I’ve been here. But the door swings both ways for you if you don’t agree with policy.
ODFL | 30 Minute Break
- Thread starter Marty McFly
- Start date
mcfly guy also beating his chest on one of the Od fb pages with how many people in corporate number he has he gonna call be a hero to make sure we all can work with no breaks,, you should see these hot shots going nuts over not wanting to follow them company rules,,
I thought just for a moment you were a real truck driver, a real truck driver would have already used that break 2 or 3 times laying across the steering wheel taking a nap.

When you said sip, did you mean sipping my martini? And if true, remember more Gin, less vermouth. von.

With Grape Jam, I mean Grape Wine you could end up with a 'peanut butter grape martini'. Forgive me, I am off my med's & that was a reach even for me. von.

Memo came out this week that OD will honor the the new 30 minute break rule. If you haven't seen or heard, ask your manager. This is only for LH.
The Federal guidelines or state? I just had a long talk with someone about it yesterday. Hopefully it’s the Federal guidelines.
It's the federal mandate. We are now allowed to combine on duty/yard move/ off duty to satisfy our 30 min break.
Bascially if you don’t live in a extreme liberal state is what memo said, other than that check your handbook memo stated
