Pros

instead of taking 1/2 hour lunch break you can take 45 min to a hour lunch break and get paid for those extra minutes, instead of calling in at the end of your route you can call your co workers on that same town to see if their done and meet up somewhere and shoot the breeze and smoke cigarettes for a half and hour and get paid for it before you call in for misses they were scared to get sent somewhere else and god forbid have to work some more

Cons

lots of gossiping among co workers, management blames you if something in the truck breaks down when you had nothing to do with the break down
