    You're arguing a fact with an opinion. What I said is not wrong. Quit saying that it is.

    It's 15 minutes. Not 10. Not 7.5. Quit making up your own regulations.

    No , no regulation specifies a time for fuel stops but if your safety department accepts that you can get out of a truck , enter info in a fuel pump , take off the fuel cap , fill the tank and replace the cap in less than 15 minutes they're a bunch of idiots . I bet you also pull up and go in for a receipt but we won't figure that .

    I haven't logged a fuel stop over 10 minutes in the past year on the E log. It just doesn't take that long. Pull up, hit the button, fuel up, pull up, hit the button to off duty and go inside for a drink and nature break. Its usually 6-8 minutes.

    You can go off duty with a truck at a fuel island ? If you pay with a fuel card the time is recorded on billing . I doubt an auditor doesn't believe you don't go in for a receipt .

    This was on an older phone and company policy did not allow muting. It had no volume.

    Why not? Superior does not require us to turn in fuel receipts. We are allowed to go off duty for meal stops. Where the truck is parked is irrelevant. I am on duty at the precise time my comdata card is approved.

    I log all my fuel stops off duty--since I only use full service truckstops! Save time on my 10 hour driving day---
    and just because my wife tells me it isn't 1975 anymore--DOESN'T MAKE HER RIGHT!!

    It can be done. I've fueled at a TS in under 15 minutes plenty of times.

    Anyway, that is not the point. The point is:

    If the duration is under 15 minutes, flag it. It doesn't need to be logged as a status change. I bet none of you EOBR freaks would know how to run on paper. Your logs would be a royal mess.

    Careful. According to the EOBR freaks, you're now a outlaw supertrucker.
