When talking to me they "CLAIM" to be doing their post-trip while they are fueling or Pre-trip. I say NO NO. Log another 15 minutes.

With some of them yardbirds in front of you at the fuel island you can almost do your 10 hour sleeper berth while waiting!

Wow you are maybe the 3rd driver I know that logs more than 15 minutes. Smart though, DOT could be watching you fuel that truck. Really they have been known to do this.

I don't do my logs up front in a truckstop. I hit the sleeper berth to take care of log books.

No they watch you fuel and then pull you over to make sure you logged the whole amount of time on line 4. It's rare, but it happens.

Aren't you always monkeying around in the sleeper?
