Andrew G…i was on daywork, and tipped only at sainsburys sites where you have no choice, but to lock the cab and hand in the keys, well put them on a chain at the bay and push a button, i was merely trying to prove a point, because the company expected all drivers to put the tacho on break or whatever suited them, and to take breaks on a bay, which i thought was wrong, not because its on break, or other work, but the principal of being told. I dont cook in the cab for uk work, only on international if i`m stuck somewhere with no facilities, otherwise i eat out.

Nothing wrong with having it on break whilst some one else tips it, there was a time when just driving time restricted your earnings now it’s the wtd as well, least amount of other work recorded the better. as long as it’s legally done.

Indeed there’s nothing wrong with that but I won’t be counting it as MY break. MY break will be when I can pull over somewhere to get a suitable meal and refreshment just like the desk jockeys do.
