    OK, so what if you finish getting loaded at the 4.75th hour and must depart the HALLIBURTON yard ASAP per HALLIBURTON and it's a 2 hour drive to location including 15miles of ONE WAY dirt road and the frac is going fast and smooth, PLUS you havent taken your break yet?

    use your head, you know what you are doing, adjust, and show that government 1/2 break. It is not hard. Yes it is a major unnecessary pain, but we let the nanny state be voted in, and gave them the power to cause this headache.

    The 1/2 hr thing is a joke. We just log it and go on like it really matters. Of course sometime on flowback jobs we might be waiting to haul so it works out.

    Who follows the rules out there? Hell I would run 50 hours straight, sleep 6, run another 30-40 and so on.

    Dollar signs :)

    Just write it on your log at some point in the day. Chances are you've had more than 30 minutes wait time at some point before halfway through your shift...unless you're pounding it feeding a running frac that doesn't have enough trucks assigned.
