So if it takes you 15 minutes to fuel you have to sit another 15 minutes at the fuel stop to make safety happy ? That must be why I see so many trucks sit so long after they pull up at the fuel island .

I quit logging 30 minute fuel stops because they'd show less driving time and make my average speed too high .

15 min for fuel and pti is acceptable, 30 min for drop and hook or unload, is the standard.
Trust me, been there 3 years. -
most companies will not recognize military experience, no matter what you drove.
They claim it an insurance problem. -
I quit logging 30 minute stops because it resulted in showing my average speed too high . My carrier's safety department would go crazy if they had electronic logs . Most drivers would be turning in average speeds they consider speeding . You will average over 60 m.p.h. in a 65 m.p.h. zone if you get on the interstate right off the highway and go to a destination within a mile or so of the ramp . I have gotten notices saying I was speeding - 60.2 m.p.h. average .
I still get the shirts , coffee cups , coolers , etc for safety awards .
