You can walk the route within reason. You can be ordered to get in the cab. They can get you for loitering if it becomes obvious that you are wasting more time walking then if you had hopped in the truck. If you work safely and DO NOT block the intersection with the truck, get your tools out and sweep/clean the high ends and messy corners in general, MOST routes if not all are in jeopardy of being cleaned.

Thats exactly how we do it. We have been fighting a battle with the big wigs for over 2 years now with this gps. They push us and we push back twice as hard. We run our district, NO dumps and out all day. If we have down time, work goes back and the 4-12 gets to make some truck money.

what do u do if a route is usually completed in 3hrs? My partner and I had no step, we took our time and still finished in 3hrs? Avg weight is anywhere from 6-8 tons. Any advice? U would have to walk backwards and hide somewhere to stay out and not dump.
