If I could have combined the on duty of the d/h with the waiting for paperwork time I could have been down the road 10 minutes sooner. You never know when that 10 minutes is going to come in handy. In other words, same money less time spent.
I can't tell you how many times I've gotten out of a dock with 8:30-9 on the 14. I've eaten, I'm rested but I'm fighting a stupid 8 hour clock that encourages me to either run hard or be less efficient. I take breaks when I want/need to. The 30 minute break rule is asinine and should be eliminated. At least with the rule change it becomes immaterial.

That 1 hour subtracted from the 8/2 split doesn't help diddly Squat.
Give us the option of taking a 5/5 split at the minimum . I would have Killed for that option running around Chicago -
I'm just happy to stop the 14 hour clock with 2 or 3 hours off duty. Could have gotten back with a 2 or 3 hour rest, instead of marking line 2 for 8 hours.Trucker61016, tommymonza, Bean Jr. and 1 other person Thank this. -

As it should be, fueling should be logged as on duty but off the drive clock so as to count towards your 30 minute break.
It gets you out of the truck and gets you moving around and your blood pumping again.
Before it was Stupid. Stop and fuel on duty. Quick find a place to park or pull up and log off duty and run inside to get your receipt
No BREAK what Soever. Just stress because the 30 minute break just removed the little bit of Leeway time you had going to your delivery because of unforeseen traffic.Last edited: May 25, 2020

Park, change duty status to off duty, sit in seat until 30 minutes is up, then go back to driving. What, as far as health benefits, does that accomplish? On duty break. Getting out of the seat, walking around, regardless of how much time it takes, gives you the health break that ostensibly the 30 minute break was to provide. (The other reason was a bone thrown to the anti-trucking groups that reduced the amount of time a driver could work, even just a little.)tommymonza, ZVar and 25(2)+2 Thank this. -
